Georgetown Art & Garden Walk

Written by faith | 2
This interior designer in Seattle couldn’t resist the opportunity to be in an area that is very familiar. It’s also home to the Design District with the Seattle Design Center, slab and tile showrooms, furniture receivers and all the other businesses associated with interior design. Such a delight to enjoy it as a neighborhood.
Georgetown is Seattle’s oldest residential neighborhood and is located 5 miles south of downtown Seattle. An independent city from 1904 - 1910, the neighborhood includes a strong and active residential core, a growing retail district, a thriving creative community and adjacent industrial businesses. July 11th celebrated the 15th Georgetown Art & Garden Walk which brings 3,000 folks to the area to enjoy art studios, gardens, socializing and food.

Some soloprenuers are young and ambitious such as Charlotte who returns with her lemonade.

And I was enthralled with the garden of friend and fellow blogger, Leah Ball Steen of Revival Home and Garden. This garden is cited by many other bloggers but so enjoyable to see in person and meet Leah’s husband and daughters.
Finally, the artists who studio and live in Georgetown create many events. One favorite is Flat Stanley Steamroller Print Initiative II.
The WHAT:
A wide range of artists design 3′ x 4′ and 3′ x 5′ lino cuts. The steamroller is the press. Artists receive a piece of unmounted linoleum and carve their vision in the blocks. Using the exact same materials, each artist creates an entirely personal experience out of the linoleum.
The WHY:
Inspired to act by the BP Gulf Oil Spill, our suggested theme for this year’s Flat Stanley Print Initiative is transportation: planes, trains and automobiles, etc. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Nature Conservancy’s response to the disaster.

What a fantastic way to celebrate a sunny day in Seattle and one of it’s oldest neighborhoods too.
