"Echoes, Memories and Curiosities" is an unconventional one-man show of art by Chuck Iffland, an outsider artist whose works spring from his inner visions. The son of painters, musicians and craftsmen — he uses his great-grandfather’s hand tools — Iffland turns his dreams and imaginings into sculptures and prints.The show, divided into what he calls echoes, memories and curiosities, is open noon to 5 PM daily except Tuesdays. A free opening celebration is set for 5 p.m. Saturday, July 12, and Iffland will do a free Q & A at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 27.This artist is a free spirit. His degree is in political science, while “I have no art degrees. And I never wanted any art degrees,” says Iffland, who lives and works in rural Chimacum. He infuses his fascinations with archeology, history, borders and the natural world into wood, stone, paper and copper, making what he calls “artifacts of the mind.” His travels, including hikes in the American Southwest and explorations of Belize, also inspire him.

WeatherEye Vineyards owner Cameron Myhrvold will be on hand to lead us through a flight of WeatherEye Hillfighter Red wines. We’ll be pouring the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 red blends. The emphasis for the Hillfighter label is on the art of blending. Each year, WeatherEye’s Hillfighter blends sources a mix of the same grapes and vineyard blocks used to create their flagship estate wines. Because each harvest is different, each Hillfighter showcases a unique blend, so each vintage tells a different story.
