"A Warm Embrace" highlights five Seattle-area women artists with a large-scale exhibition. The venue is Northwind Art's Jeanette Best Gallery, and the artists are Soo Hong, Jody Joldersma, Naoko Morisawa, Neha Panicker and Xin Xin. Their work goes from wood mosaics to big abstract paintings; many pieces explore how art can give solace to both artist and viewer. Information at NorthwindArt.org.
