The work of the Northwest’s favorite paper-cutting artist, Nikki McClure, is headed to the Bellevue Arts Museum this month for the first museum survey of her art.

Taking in 16 years of the Olympia artist’s popular silhouette paper art, the show looks at her narratives and themes as well as workmanship.

The exhibit will be open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays from Nov. 13 to Feb. 3. Admission is $7-$10, or free for children younger than 6. The Bellevue Arts Museum is at 510 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue. 425-519-0070, bellevuearts.org

If you know Nikki McClure’s work, chances are you know it from one of her calendars or books. Apart from Dale Chihuly, it’s hard to think of another regional artist who has so embedded their work in the collective visual consciousness of South Sound. Her restrained, almost stylized white-on-black portraits of ordinary Northwesterners living a sustainable lifestyle of cooking soup and picking huckleberries are found in homes throughout the region.

Children's Museum participation in its first Arts Walk makes fest even more kid-friendly

Kids, this one’s for you. Of course, Olympia's Arts Walk is a big event for pretty much everyone – or at least it feels that way when you’re navigating the Capitol Way sidewalks. But the 46th Arts Walk, happening Friday night and Saturday, offers a lot for the younger set. For example, the relocated Hands On Children’s Museum is celebrating its first Arts Walk with free admission and activities Friday night and free tours Saturday.
