Visit Sunny Sequim

Visit Sunny Sequim Full of natural beauty and small town charm, sunny Sequim offers an abundance of friendly faces, local lavender, unique shops, and outdoor adventure.

Sequim is located on the beautiuful north Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington. Bordered by the waters of the Straight of Juan de Fuca to the north and the magestic Olympic Mountains to the south, Sequim sits in a rainshadow that allows approximately 16" of annual rainfall, making it one of the driest places in Western Washington and a paradise for outdoor activity. "The Lavender Capital o

f North America" Sequim is well known for its commercial cultivation of the fragrant herb and for its premier celebration, Sequim Lavender Weekend, the third weekend of July. Also home to the longest running festival in the state of Washington, the Sequim Irrigation Festival celebrates the innovation and vision of the irrigation ditches that channeled the waters from the Dungeness River to make the arid Sequim-Dungeness Valley fertile agricultural lands. While you're here be sure to visit the Olympic Game Farm with the famous waving kodiak bears, the beautiful John Wayne Marina on Sequim Bay, savor local berries and organic produce from a local farm, or take a hike along the Dungeness Spit. With Sequim's central location on the Olympic Peninsula, it is the perfect place to stay while you explore all that the area has to offer.

"To Move", Focus on the Illusion of Movement or Actual Motion

The Sequim Arts Commission invites you to submit your artwork to our upcoming juried exhibition to be displayed in the Karen Kuznek-Reese Gallery at Sequim Civic Center from October 4th, 2024, through January 22nd, 2025.

In this exhibition jurors will be looking for how movement is indicated in two-dimensional images or sculpture or any actual moving creations. This might be as simple as trees appearing to sway in the wind, or as complicated as a short movie you have written and produced. Movement in artwork is an important principle of design and there are four basic strategies for creating movement in art and they are implied, actual, sequential, and optical movement. Most of these strategies involve static artworks but many artworks incorporate actual movement.

Many artists achieve visual movement in art by depicting motion in an artwork, leading an observer from one section to another, or by making the artwork itself move as a part of the viewing experience. Because of its instinctive appeal, movement is often associated with nature and living beings. The movement in art definition is based on the arrangement of elements such as line, color, shape, texture, and pattern. Visual artists use movement in art to create action or an impression of action, guiding their viewer’s eyes around their work.

To Submit: https://form.jotform.com/241905316719156

Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, August 20th, 2024. All entries will be juried by the Sequim Arts Commission on Monday, August 26th, 2024. Artists will be notified of their status the first week of September, 2024. Artwork delivery will be scheduled for the second week of September and you will be contacted to schedule delivery of your work. Please contact City of Sequim Arts Coordinator, Sarah Hurt at 360-582-2477 or email [email protected], if you have any questions.
