Starry, Starry Day
At best, somewhere along the way, a moment will happen. A piece of work will catch your attention. You’ll cease thinking about where you’ve been and where you’re supposed to go next and what time is it anyway. Instead you’ll just be where you are, immersed in beauty, the artist’s light reflecting upon you.
And then you’ll write a check and take that feeling home with you.
One more thing: The folks outside the Arcata-Eureka circuit, the ones out in Blue Lake, Glendale, Manila, Willow Creek, Fieldbrook — they’re likely to get less traffic by fact of geography. Make a point of exploring further than you might normally go. Isn’t that the point?
North Coast Open Studios takes place this Saturday and Sunday and the following weekend, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Not all participating artists are open both weekends, so plan accordingly. You should have found the guide inserted in this week’s Journal, otherwise, complete listings are available through northcoastopenstudios.com. More information at (707) 834-6460.
