Opening Night Artists Reception

Exhibit open to the public
Saturdays, November 11 - January 6, 12 - 4pm
Graphite Arts Center in downtown Edmonds is a true creative space. At the heart of this vibrant facility is a community of professional, working artists who rent private studios at Graphite as their places to create. These artist studios are active places where the Graphite Studio Artists work and create.
The Graphite Studio Artists share new works in the upcoming group show, Narrative: The Art of Storytelling. Featured works will highlight the power of visual art to tell the stories of our past and present.
Artists in the show include:
- Sarah Crumb
- Andy Eccleshall - known in Shoreline for his murals
- Tracy Felix
- Johanne Friedrichs
- Mike O’Day
- Mary Olsen
- Julie Perrine
- Amy Pleasant
- Bill Whitbeck
- Rainny Zhao
Some works are reminders, some works are interpretations and some works are illustrations of things either real or unreal.
Visitors to the show will enjoy the stories revealed in the artworks as told by the artists, as well as create their own personal narratives for the works through their individual experiences with the art.

Moved by the lyrics of a song, ceramic artist Mike O’Day says:
The visual of smoke from the burning house developing into a cloud for the angel to perch upon was the inspiration for this sculpture.
The public is invited to the opening night artists reception on November 11. Visitors will have a chance to see the new exhibit, meet the artists, enjoy a bite to eat and hear live music by The Bill Witbeck Jazz Band. Exhibit runs through January 6, 2024.
