About the Walking Gallery:
“The walking gallery is the brain child of Catalan artist, Jose Puig. One day, moving his paintings to a studio, he had an idea. Why only show in galleries? Why should we wait? Why not free our art and show it to the unexpected viewer?
Let’s take to the streets and transform them into galleries! And so, the walking gallery was created. No paperwork, no competition, no elimination, no selection processes, no fees. Just you and your art, side by side with other artists of all paths, styles and interests.
Bring your art. Strap it, carry it, wheel it, wear it, play it. Release it to the winds, free it.
Together we walk. Art and artist as ONE.”
Call for All Artists/Creatives: Everyone is welcome! Join us for the 2nd Port Townsend Walking Gallery. Come walk or roll with us. Bring your art. Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture, Jewelry, Furniture, Photographs, Collages, Wearable Art, Music, Circus, Cosplay, Poetry, Written Word, Solo Acoustic Music, etc. Strap it, carry it, wheel it, wear it, fly it…It’s simple, it’s free, it’s POWERFUL.
Our mission is to: Inspire, tease, provoke thought, expose, gather, unlock spaces, energize, invite, liberate, shine light. Our only ask is that work is your own creation, legally permissible, and appropriate for all ages.
Intention - Walk for walking with no desire of outcome. With no monetary desire at the end. Walk to release your art and connect with the unexpected viewer. Walk with pride and intention. Our bodies, the walls of a gallery.

Walking Gallery September 23rd Logistics: We will convene at 4:00pm on Saturday September, 2023 at Rotary Park (next to PT-Coupeville Ferry dock), meet each other, go through basic expectations, and happenings along the way.
Please be punctual! 4:30pm - WE WALK!
We will line up behind our leader and guide, Thais Oliveira, and begin the walk down Water Street towards Pope Marine Park.
We will stop at Tyler Plaza where we will energize and activate the space with our presence. We will rest and give the public a chance to interact.
We continue down Water Street to our final destination at Pope Marine Park. There we gather, we show, we interact with our audience.
As a finale, we will have a surprise creative activity where we invite the public to participate and mingle.
If you are a performing artist, both the stops are your chance to shine. This is where we can have short performances (5 minutes max) like spoken word, jugglers, dancers, and a one-person acoustic band/music.
