To the best of my knowledge, Arbutus Folk School opening in Olympia Oct. 19 will be the first school of its type in the Pacific Northwest. The school at 600 Fourth Ave. E. will offer classes in such arcane (and common) crafts as Scandinavian knife making, blacksmithing, woodworking, top-bar beehive

The 71 drawings in Marilyn Frasca's "Like This" at Childhood's End are stunning. It is an exhibition of drawings done since 2001. All of the drawings are done with pastel or other media drawn into monoprints. Each picture tells a story, be it the story of Squaxin Indians

Meghan Mitchell's drawings in the show "Hello" at Fulcrum Gallery are delightful. I could easily dismiss them as cute little drawings not really important as art, but I could just as easily dismiss the art of great graphic artists like Saul Steinberg and Jules Feiffer in the same way. I

There's a maze in a whirlwind in front of the Hands On Children's Museum in Olympia. Children love it. And so do art lovers, because it is a large-scale work of art by internationally renowned sculptor Patrick Daugherty. South Sound art lovers will recall Daugherty's delightful and amazing "Call of the

The gallery at downtown Olympia's Olyphant Art Supply seems to attract artists who are new to Olympia. Case in point: Hart James, who is certainly not new to art but is new to Olympia. Her first Olympia show at Olyphant features 20 small assemblage/collages with surrealistic images, lots of gilded

Kristin Giordano's photographs of Doha, Qatar at Kittredge Gallery on campus at University of Puget Sound are haunting, lonely and disturbingly beautiful. Paul Landacre's wood engravings in the smaller back gallery represent a fine sampling of works by a little known but leading engraver of the early 20th century. Together

Otto Younger's sculptures in the Handforth Gallery spill out of the gallery space to inhabit sections of the entire gallery, first and second floor and even the windows above the main entrance. They are big, bold, hysterically funny and insightfully satirical. What Youngers has created is a parody of museum

Musical performances during openings at B2 Fine Art Gallery are nothing new, but the gallery is branching out into music in a big way with the first of a two-part series of art celebrating music. "SPIN 1: American Vinyl Exhibition" is the first of two shows with portraits of musicians
