A special evening of art and music hosted by local creatives is planned for the First Saturday Art Walk on May 6 in Port Townsend.

Andrew Sheldon has been painting landscapes, portraits, and abstracts for more than 30 years, and is a student of Port Townsend painting icon Jim Alden. The show will be the first public opportunity to see Sheldon’s stunning large format landscapes and shimmering abstracts, as well as a series of Port Townsend scenes in miniature with precisely-rendered details.

Brother Townsend is a four-piece band based on the Olympic Peninsula. It’s not a cover band: Brother Townsend serves up Americana originals with solid deviations into blues, rock, and classic country. Fans say their live shows are absolute barn burners — at any given moment some will be dancing, others may cry, and all will be enchanted by the gut-punch of their rhythms and the resonance of their lyrics.

The Working Artist Guild is a newly-formed collective of local artists, artisans, and creatives who make their livings from their art, music, writing, and craft, in pursuit of a healthy, vibrant artistic community free from the confines of traditional gatekeepers and administrative bureaucracies.

The exhibit runs from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, with the music starting at 7:30 p.m. Brigid’s Loft is located at 280 Quincy St., upstairs from Bazaar Girls Yarn Emporium. Admission is free.
