Don your gay, warm apparel. Tis the season for the Capitol Hill art walk. Every second Thursday, the Hill’s Blitz arts event brings a little extra buzz to the Hill’s business districts. CHS is proud to help sponsor the walk. Head out, enjoy a gallery or two, maybe get some holiday shopping done and stay warm. Here are some highlights from the December walk and a map of participating venues. You can learn more at http://blitzcapitolhill.com

New this month is the Catalyst Gallery on 1114 E. Olive featuring works by Kellie Delaney & Bryce Knudson. You can also swing by Babeland to meet the firemen of the Washington State Council of Firefighters Burn Foundation’s annual charity calendar. That ought to warm you up.

Also, received a note from neighbor Zoe about Snow Monkey’s House of Monsters’ Under $50 Art Sale tonight as part of the art walk and a few more Snow Monkey events through the weekend. Snow Monkey’s is located at 1205 E. Pike above Bluebird Ice Cream & Tea

Hello friends!

This week Snowmonkey is hosting THREE events in a row, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. PLEASE come and visit us, as the shop has been dismally slow, and we need to do good Holiday sales if we are to stay in business in the new year.  And don’t forget that Snowmonkey has the BEST STOCKING STUFFERS EVER!  Monsters as low as fifty cents each!

THURSDAY night (Dec 10,  6:00- 10:00) is the Capitol Hill Art Walk, and we will be having an “UNDER $50” Art Sale with a variety of our regular artists, including myself, Atticus, Bunny, Jonathan Morris, and Kyle Kesterson.

FRIDAY night (Dec 11, 4:00 – 9:00) we are hosting a special jewelry sale featuring the jewelry of Diane Anderson. who has some consigned work in the shop as well.

Her FB event reads:

“Jewelry is handmade by Diane and is hammered fine silver & sterling silver with semi-precious gems. Come say hi & enjoy a glass of wine and celebrate the season! Check out this super-secret shop location. I will be donating a percentage of profits towards a friend’s cancer healthcare. Snowmonkey’s is child friendly so bring the whole family.”

SATURDAY (Dec 12, 2:00 pm) we are hosting “The Kids are Making it Themselves,” presented by Coco Howard.  “An exhibition and sale of handmade plush characters from forty or so of Seattle’s finest kids.”  This is a culmination of a creature-making class that Coco has been teaching, and should be super awesome!

Please come check out these events, and don’t forget to tell EVERYONE you know about Snowmonkey’s!
