Art Walk Edmonds works with Edmonds businesses to host local art in their locations. Every Third Thursday from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, participating businesses also open their doors to showcase local and regional art — offering the public the chance to meet and interact directly with the artists.
For this month’s Third Thursday, join us to celebrate Kim Parsley and her exhibit: Where Art Meets Science: A Collection of Vintage Travel Bars and Original Encaustic Artwork.
The Artist & Curator, Kim Parsley, has combined her passions for finding a new life for old things, elevating great design, and renewing the enjoyment of creating cocktails (spirit-free or spirit forward) into her vintage travel bars; affectionately named The Happy Travelers. Each Happy Traveler is designed around a wine experience or a specific cocktail and includes all the bottles, bar tools, and glassware needed for the creation and enjoyment of that cocktail. Because most items are vintage or second-hand, each travel bar is one-of-a-kind, creating a renewed purpose to items that would otherwise sit on a shelf or in a landfill.
Kim also brings together art and science in creating her original encaustic artwork, in which she uses liquid beeswax to express the unique juxtaposition of places or textures and objects that are otherwise not connected to each other.
At this showing, Kim will have a collection of her vintage travel bars for sale or to inspire, as well as a selection of her encaustic paintings. Stop by during the art walk to speak to Kim about curating a custom travel bar set-up that has a personal connection to you or a gift recipient.
