For more than three decades, the triple Grammy-nominated Acoustic Alchemy have pushed the limits of the potential of the acoustic guitar by embracing a spectrum of musical styles ranging from straight-ahead jazz to folk to rock to world music and beyond. Since their earliest recordings – despite a tragic setback in the late 1990s and the inherent challenges of the 21st century music industry – the group has assembled and sustained a vast and loyal following that stretches well beyond their U.K. origins. Through it all, the overriding mission of Acoustic Alchemy has been to reach the broadest possible audience by pushing the potential of instrumental music to embrace a broad spectrum of styles without being limited to any specific genre.
Vivid paintings of local forests, trails and natural landmarks by Port Townsend artist Patricia Hagen beckon in this exhibit at Northwind Art's spacious gallery. For this one-woman show, Patty painted many of these en plein air, inspired by her surroundings in green, woodsy Port Townsend and Chimacum. Owls, deer, old-growth trees — and an observant human — share the space on her canvases. "Nature reveals itself as both nurturing and commanding, whether viewed from a mountain peak or an ancient forest path," says Patty. Her exhibit of more than 40 paintings and ceramic works is on view through July 7; the gallery is open 12 noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays, and more information is found at Northwind Art's website, NorthwindArt.org. Art Walk on June 7 and July 5 means the gallery stays open till 8 p.m.; Patty will give a free artist talk open to everyone at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 8.
Northwind Art gallery shows are always free to the public.

Mandela: The Official Exhibition explores the life of the world’s most famous freedom fighter and political leader. His epic journey is told in a series of experiential galleries, from his rural childhood home through years of turbulent struggle against the apartheid regime, to his eventual vindication and final years as South Africa’s first democratically elected president.
An immersive and interactive experience, the exhibition features previously unseen films, photos, and the display of historical artifacts and personal effects on loan from the Mandela family, museums, and archives worldwide. This unprecedented exhibition offers fresh insights into the people, places, and events that formed Nelson Mandela’s character and the challenges he faced.
MOHAI will also highlight Mandela’s 1999 visit to Seattle and present a look at Seattle’s role in the anti-apartheid movement, including the work of the Seattle Coalition Against Apartheid. Mandela recognized Seattle as one of the first U.S. cities to boycott South African goods.
The period from the 1870s to the 1900s, known as the Gilded Age, saw the rise of the railroad, textile industry, and production. It also saw a rise in migration to US cities, providing workers to fill low paying jobs producing many of the fashions of the era. This era marked a turning point in fashion as new technologies and changing cultural norms transformed the ways in which people dressed.
Explore this history and enjoy the rare chance to see clothing, notions, and artifacts of the period from the Washington State Historical Society collections.
