Fremont, a vibrant district and home to Seattle’s one-and-only troll, along with a peculiar statue of Lenin, hosts an art walk every first Friday (the next is March 7th) from 6 to 9. Several of the area’s galleries and shops are kept open for walkers to peruse their various featured artists. The Fremont First Friday blog lists a program of events for each month, including physical and web addresses to venues to help navigate your exploration. The upcoming walk looks promising: featured artist Amy Oates‘ work will be on display at Oohla’s salon along with acoustic guitarist Travis Hartnett. Six local artists will be showcased together at the “Orange Splot Gallery.” Cheese, wine, music and art, oh my!

Dancing at Lenin's toes: Fresh faces front First Friday festivities

It's not a new idea, nor a revolutionary one. The Fremont First Friday Art Walk has been on the community calendar since 2004.
Yet when LaRae and Cory Lobdell, of Lifework Images, took over organizing the event, they got people talking - and not just about the chance to dance at Lenin's feet.
LaRae and Cory credit their landlord. Brian Regan paid for the first programs, they said.
The couple heard about the event from Brian's property manager, who suggested they get involved. DeeDee Footer's been a huge advocate, they gushed: "That's how we got in."
"They have definitely brought an awareness to the art walk. I haven't seen the final count," said Gail Bradley, of Frame up Studios, a participating business, "but I bet it's close to double."
In May, 28 businesses participated in the art walk. "They've gone around to the community," Gail said, "and gotten people on the bandwagon."
LIVE AT LENIN
With fresh outlooks and contagious energy, the couple have drawn people in. Volunteers distribute handouts and posters to area shops.

Today is your opportunity to witness the rebirth of the Fremont Art Walk other wise known as First Friday. Fremont which has long boasted a strong grounding in the arts and an active artist community, has somehow come loose from that mooring to float around a bit, awash in the new landscape of buildings and people that flowed into the neighborhood following the construction of several commercial buildings in the area.
As a result, Fremont is presently in a state of renewal; busily finding clever ways to keep its artistic heart’s blood circulating through the changed landscape. The Art Walk is an old tradition in the neighborhood that has gotten a bit sluggish with disuse. Thus, the newly-minted chairs of the Fremont Art Walk, LaRae and Cory Lobdell are heading up the effort getting things circulating again. Under their creative and enthusiastic leadership the Art Walk is going use Lenin as the event Hub, where participants will be able to listen to Live music grab a snack and follow various Art Walk Lantern Bearers as they lead the way to the numerous galleries and fremont businesses that are hosting artists.
Also new is a fantastic new website for the Fremont First Friday’s Art Walk. So for more details on where and when to join us tonight or in future First Fridays please visit: www.fremontfirstfriday.com.
