This Sunday, November 16, there are two open studios events competing for your attention. The first will be at the Arlington Arts Center, where you can meet our resident artists--Evan Reed, Lisa McCarty, Gilbert Trent, Mark Roman, Sabyna Sterrett, Paula Bryan, Van Nguyen, Monica Stroik, Anne Marie Coolick, Edith Heins, Scott Hutchison, Matt Best, and Jill Romanoke--from noon to 3:00.

Once you've gotten a sense of things here, you can head out to Mount Ranier for an open house at Red Dirt Studios that runs from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. See the work and work environs of Laurel Lukaszewski, Novie Trump, Kyan Bishop, Mila Kagan, Noah Armstrong & Andrea Roberson. The first twenty visitors all get a free ten pound bag of red dirt!

Okay, yes, I'm kidding: No complimentary dirt bags, but there will be plenty of food and drink at both events, and free parking, besides.
