When you're tired of lutefisk and salmon, take a stroll around some businesses and gander at some art.

On Saturday, 6-9 p.m., the Ballard ArtWalk, will coincide with SeafoodFest. The Ballard Art Walk showcases painting, glass art, sculpture, performance, and more, in venues from Leary Way to Shilshole, and as far north as 65th. This family-friendly event is free, with many venues offering light refreshments.

As one of the newer Art Walk venues, Ballard Consignment (5459 Leary Ave NW) will feature artist Katya Minkina, who will be displaying some of her watercolor portraits.

“When sketching real people who go about their business, a few seconds is all you get to capture a pose or a gesture. It takes a while to warm up and start seeing the essence beyond all the overwhelming details that cry for attention,” says Minkina.

The artist will also be making sidewalk portraits throughout the weekend outside of Ballard Consignment as part of the Ballard SeafoodFest, an annual event that draws thousands of people.

But wait, there's more! There will be a wine tasting with Canoe Ridge at the BalMar, Populuxe Brewing will be showing art by local artist Derek Ross, artist Elizabeth Desiree will be at Domanico Cellars with music by William McCormick -- and more and more and more.
