Shy Boys UPTOWN tonight!!!

Hope you were there to celebrate The Shy Boys concert at UPTOWN last Thursday evening .....a great performance!!
A great BIG welcome to new, participating artist, Charli Meacham. Read all about her as the Featured Artist of the Week. This is a beautiful, original, watercolor of our tiger friend. You're going to have to be really fast to find this one at Elandan Gallery.
If it has been a while since you have visited Elandan Gallery, they have a lot of new things...get there!!!
A little EXTRA for you at Elandon. How cute are these little boys. Anyone know who they are???? This historic photo reminds us all that the Gig Harbor History Museum has its Grand Opening on Sept. 18th BE THERE!!




Need about a bottle of wine and a cute little card? Makes a great gift. You are going to really enjoy the art of another participating artist, Elaine Erickson as the artist of these little cards.
If they are gone when you get to Water to Wine, then head on over to Ebb Tide Gallery to find more of Elaine's beautiful art!!!


Another historic photo from the Gig Harbor History Museum, you know, the one that opening on Sept. 18th. Who knows the story about the World's Largest Clam Chowder Bowl????



"The only thing better than a good friend, is a good friend with chocolate!"

Guessing everyone knows by now, there is construction starting in the Harbor. Find this little FREE art in the construction zone....near Santa and all things having to do with Dec. 25.....where could it be???




"Cosmic Dancer". A great BIG welcome to new participating artist, Laura Bethke. Laura uses a combination of colorful acrylic paints, glue and copper foil on Mat board and h and made papers, blend together to create a unique and whimsical interpretation of ethnic designs.

Heads UP...this one is a little more difficult to find...Could it be, near yet another construction zone, or at least beside it.... First name of the store starts with Harbor. Good luck!!
HEY!!! Let's give a big WELCOME to a new store in the Harbor. Misty Meadow Antiques, on Soundview. If you haven't been there, they really have a lot of great antique-ie items. Find this wonderful piece of fused glass in the "laundry room"...how cute is that?
And a big thank you to glass artist Marsha Hildebrant for her fused glass dove. In case you miss Marsha's work at Misty Meadows, mosey on down to the Ebb Tide Gallery where you can enjoy more of Marsha's art glass!!!

FEATURED ARTISTS OF THE WEEK!!!
Charli Meacham
"I love art. I love color. I love presenting my view of the world as I see it. I love being creative in all respects, and I am pleased to share with you the product of my creativity." A great BIG welcome and a great BIG thank you to Charli for donating some of her watercolor paintings. Looking for something special for yourself or as a gift? charlimeacham@centurytel.net That's where you'll find Charli!!

So very happy to feature a new artist this week, so welcome Judy Buskirk. "One of my most profound memories is wading, mesmerized, in the seaweed at low tide on Hood Canal, Washington. My Grandparents owned a house in the perfect cover near Tahuya and the second we arrived, I was down on the beach. So began my involvement with the spirit of the sea."

Thank you to Cooper Studios in Shelton, Wa for a great photo of Judy!!!!!
