Spring Arts Walk

We hope you can join us Friday and Saturday, April 25th and 26th for Spring Arts Walk.

Featured for the first time at Childhood’s End, is Olympia Arts Walk poster artist and wire sculptor, Colleen Cotey. Intricate twists take on life with each loop and bend. Colleen’s exhibit will feature several animal pieces which will include native and endangered species.

It has been several years since we have shown work from Simon Kogan at Childhood’s End. We are pleased to be showing both sculpture and paintings from this internationally recognized artist. Kogan is best known in our community for his public art installations that grace the capital campus, Percival Landing and Hands on Children’s Museum among many more.

Fantastic sunsets, rolling fields and glowing vistas are dreamlike backdrops for horses by Olympia artist Mary McCann. You don’t need to be an equestrian to feel a connection to these beautiful oil paintings.

You will find the same bold hues, but with a completely different style and feel in acrylics from Don Tiller. Familiar images, interesting shapes and bold colors are used to create Tiller’s playful landscapes on canvas.

There are never enough words to describe the mixed media sculptures by John and Robin Gumaelius. These thought provoking pieces, based on ceramic and enhanced by metal and wood are not to be missed. Each piece tells a story using creative symbolism and wild imagination – a gallery favorite for good reason.

Just a reminder that Childhood’s End will be closed Easter Sunday but open late for Arts Walk with live music by solo guitarist, Pat Cole Friday the 25th.

Can’t make it that weekend? We will have our exhibit up through May 31st. Take a virtual tour of the gallery!
