April art walk brought sunshine along with a beautiful array of new artworks featuring West Seattle’s finest creators! Our community was alive with the celebration of businesses and artists who have given us so much joie de vivre over the past few years. Smiles and laughter abounded as the community came together to enjoy old friends and new friends alike. Artists and business owners shared their stories, inspiring us with their passion and love for their crafts. All in all, it was an evening filled with inspiration, good cheer, and the uplifting power of a few rays of sun.

The team of Art Walk photographers did a wonderful job of capturing the ambiance as well as the art and artists. If you weren’t able to come out, we hope you take a moment to check out video clips and photos of the receptions below. Or, better yet, come see the shows yourself. Most of the artwork featured will be up all month long, so do find time to visit these venues.
