Monthly Art Walk Sparkles on North Oregon Coast
(Seaside,
Oregon) – Each first Saturday of the month, the Oregon coast town
of Seaside throws a large bash for art with the Seaside Art Walk. It’s
a collection of merchants and art galleries who wish to share the arts
with the public – and not just the visual arts. Some shops host
musicians performing live, and many provide refreshments and appetizers.
Each art walk runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on those first Saturdays, with bundles of tourists and locals wandering the streets of downtown Seaside, and even one spot in neighboring Gearhart occasionally.
DIVE
INTO LUXURY, HISTORY AT THE TIDES THE TIDES BY THE SEA, Seaside. For over 80 years a favorite of Seaside visitors. 51 oceanfront condos, individually owned and decorated. Suites for couples, small apartments with fireplaces and kitchenettes, one or two bed family units with fireplaces, kitchens and dining rooms. Oceanview cottages sleep anywhere from two to eight, w/ two bedrooms, some with lofts, fireplaces and kitchens. Heated outdoor pool, enormous grounds w/ picnic tables - all at quiet southern end of Seaside. 2316 Beach Drive. 800-548-2846. www.thetidesbythesea.com. |
The works and artforms featured are always diverse and varied, although there is often a theme to the event. The January Art Walk, among other things, featured the debut of a local 12-year-old artist with exceptional talent.
The
February 3 Art Walk will have a special theme: “For the love of
Art and Kids!” Galleries will be featuring romance and love-themed
works.
The February event will also be tying into the Seaside Heights Elementary School’s Bingo Night Auction. Grade school children’s art will be on display in several downtown businesses. Their artwork, along with donated pieces from local artists, will be auctioned off to benefit the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTO). The final bidding for the auction is Friday, February 9 - during the school’s annual Bingo Night.
Seaside Art Walk dates for 2007 are:
Tradewinds Motel, Rockaway Beach. All rooms at the Tradewinds Motel are immaculate and have TV’s, VCR’s and in-room phones with data ports. The oceanfronts all have a queen bed, a double hide-a-bed, kitchen, cozy firelog fireplace and a private deck. Some oceanfront units come with all those amenities but the kitchens. Both types sleep up to four people. Others are appointed with a queen bed, small fridge, and coffee maker – sizable for a two-person romantic getaway, yet still perfect for those on a budget.
