Evening walks in Lopez Village are magical, Sunsets over Weeks Wetland, boats returning to birdsong at dusk all remind us how lucky we are to live among such beauty. It’s no wonder Lopez inspires artists of every kind. That creative spirit comes alive during the monthly
First Saturday Art Walk, a free, self-guided event in the Village beginning at 4:30pm in the library.
Featuring artist exhibitions and talks, stellar local restaurants and businesses, and plenty of people watching, the Art Walk is an easy, welcoming way to celebrate the island’s vibrant arts community and connect with friends and neighbors.
On Saturday, July 4th, the Lopez Library will be closed for Independence Day.
The July Artist in Residence, Remy Styrk, will be premiering his exhibition on Saturday July 11th!
Please join us in for this special one-off “Second Saturday” version of the Lopez Art Walk. Remy will present “At the Borderline of Time” multi-disciplinary art exhibition opening with talk/Q&A
An all-encompassing leap into the difference between meeting one’s soul
versus meeting their physical body to start the deeper conversation of
intersectionality and suicide awareness in Black and Brown trans
communities.
At the borderline of time, suicide forced me to come face to face with
the things I loved most. Importantly, what I loved most about myself –
my soul (growth, maturity, decay). We have as much to learn about death
as we do life. The closer we are to observing the truth of the soul,
the more life we attract.
Art forces us to view differently, deeply, and critically. My art has
always been at the root of affirming who I am, discovering and creating
my personal vision and philosophy, exploring who and how I love, and
how I celebrate, mourn, and look upon all of the moments that make me
human. My work here is to provide a space for others to celebrate
themselves and explore what visibility and sense of self mean to them.
The goal is to get people thinking differently, deeply, and critically.
We hope you can join us for this monthly event amplifying and supporting local arts, culture and business on Lopez Island.
