Can someone clarify where the meeting location is for AM workshops? My ticket says Graphite, but the PDF looks like maybe they are at Artworks. Thanks!

Young Artist Needs Artist Talk Pass!

Sarah.Rose — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 19:02:05 +0000

Hello! My name is Sarah, I’m a young artist who discovered this event only after the artist talk passes had sold out!

If anyone is looking to sell their pass by any chance, please think of me!

This event is a dream come true for me. I sketch and watercolor as my catharsis. I was trained in architecture school and am figuring out now how to develop my own style and come into my own as an artist. I volunteer with Edmonds Art Works and am so happy to be making connections in the art scene with you all.

There are 13 talks I’d love to see, I can devote the whole weekend and get every drop of value out of it. I can’t afford the workshops, but I can pay you a bit extra for a talk pass.

Thank you so much!

Monday 7/13 outing to Poulsbo (aka "Little Norway")

Kim K. Roberts — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 04:00:20 +0000

For those from away, Poulsbo is a cute little town set in Liberty Bay on Kitsap Peninsula of Puget Sound. Known as "Little Norway," it's kind of kitschy and kind of cute, with bakeries and other shops, Norwegian architecture, and views of the harbor. There's even a Viking ship folks go out on, and the ship master will meet us on the dock to answer questions. Check it out:

We'll meet up at the Edmonds ferry dock (Top Pot doughnuts, anyone?) to catch the 10:20am ferry. After the half hour crossing, it's another half hour drive to Poulsbo. (The return ferries sail hourly.)

I'm attaching a carpool spreadsheet for those who are driving and offering rides, and for those who need a ride.

Urban Sketchers South Sound is hosting a Drink & Draw for attendees of Edmonds Sketcherfest and any local artists the evening before the event. This is a great way to get to know fellow sketchers and kick the weekend off with a CHEERS!

We will be drawing each other and our surroundings. Everyone is encouraged bring their sketchbook and to come grab a drink (food available as well).

We hope to see you there!

Artist pass single tickets

Ksoebroto — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 18:55:41 +0000

It sounds like I can purchase an Artist talk single ticket at the door. Do I just show up to the talk early and buy one before the room fills up?

Camping

Ksoebroto — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 18:53:43 +0000

I will be staying in my van over the weekend. Any recommendations for a good campground or place to part that is nearby?
