Artists in Great Spaces


Time is flying by so fast this summer, I've hardly had time to smell the roses. Coming up next week, August 17th, I will be taking over a large corner building in downtown Everett. For the next 6 weeks this well be the home of Janet Wold Art Studio and Gallery. This is part of a partnership, between building owners and artists, put together by the city of Everett and The Snohomish Arts Council. I am honored to have been chosen to be part of this project. I plan to make the best of my time , by packing the place with art, opening the doors and welcoming the community to come by for a visit. I will be painting and doing a variety of other art projects. I am also looking for suggestions on a recycle project using tin can lids. I have been saving them and this is the time to find a fun way to use them. Please come by for a visit, bring you paint stuff and join in the fun. I have not figured out my schedule yet, but I will definitely be there on Tuesdays and Thursday, from 12-4. I will post the other days and hours once I get setup. The address is 2831 Wetmore. It is on the NE corner of Wetmore and Hewitt. The building has blue awnings and is just 2 blocks west of the Comcast Center. There are artists in 6 other locations and I am fortunately just across the street from Wise Design. So I am with good company. www.janetwoldart.com

Animal Adoptions


Hello Friends
I wanted to give a quick update on the Pet Plaza event at Mill Creek a couple of weeks ago. The event was a great success. Over the weekend 15 cats and 15 dogs found new homes. That is a smashing success in the pet rescue and adoption circles. Many people made donations, but as always more is needed on and ongoing basis. The cat shelters have been running at capacity, making adoptions and foster care needed more then ever. I just visited Homeward Pet in Woodinville and found it to be one of the cleanest, most peaceful shelter environments I have ever seen. Their volunteers work hard to keep it nice and make sure there is plenty of loving going on. I was really impressed. If you are in need of a pet pal, they have a wonderful group of dogs, pups, cats and kittens. All are socialized and well cared for. Check out their web site for more information. www.homewardpet.org. And as always I donated a portion of all animal painting from my web site to animal charity, as well as donate art work. www.janetwoldart.com
