Sara Broderick started the Art Walk at Manley with an artist demonstration. The big mirror over her head makes it easy for the viewers to follow her work.

The Nuncrackers at Dewey's Diggs. Dewey's Diggs, named after PILOT founder Dewey Akers, is the new name of the PILOT's conference room on Art Walk Alley. To celebrate the official opening of this "Art Walk Gallery," devoted to photo art, the nuns came over from the Pelican Players latest production "Nuncrackers" and performed a few snippets of this musical comedy.

Following the Nuncrackers, former PILOT owner Dick Keusink gave a short speech on the symbiosis of the people of Brookings and their newspaper. His wife, Polly, read a limerick she had composed for the occasion.

Horst Wolf, one of the founders of the Brookings Art Walk, added a few words thanking the PILOT for its continuing support of the Art Walk. He pointed out that employees of the PILOT not only report about the Art Walk, but they also participate as artists and musicians. "They have thoroughly infiltrated us."

One of those infiltrators is Bill Schlichting, who goes to every Art Walk with camera around his neck. For November, he is the Artist of the Month in Dewey's Diggs. His photos were mounted on the walls around the audience.

The program ended with the Limericists under Lynn Guild (on the right), another PILOT employee, reciting their newest writings. In addition to being the Limerick Queen, Lynn also was the driving force earlier this year on getting the alley behind the PILOT named Art Walk Alley - officially - by the City, with street signs installed and all the rest of it. Lynn also convinced Charlie Kocher, PILOT publisher, to donate Dewey's Diggs as a new venue for Art Walkers.

In the audience were the other two other co-founders of the Art Walk, Brian Scott (2nd from right) and Dale Wells (3rd from right).

Midway through the Art Walk, as usual at 5:30, we had a reading at Words & Pictures. This month the reader was Carol Crow, who read from her own works. Carol is President of the Brookings Toastmasters.

In the library gallery, the four featured artists talked about their art. Here we see Gold Beach artist Alexandra Eyer (left) and Brookings artist Pete Chasar (right), who also coordinated this month's exhibit.

And afterwards the participating Art Walk musicians got together to have a little party of their own, to relax after three hours of playing for the Art Walkers. And what did they do? Play some more. Here we see Lon Goddard, who played at Wright's Frame Shop, presenting his latest creation to an audience of critical peers.

And here we see Aura Wright, Lon's partner in crime.This is all for today. We could only report on a few of the venues.

Steve didn't have the time to hit all venues, especially the outlying ones, and I played music in the CAVE ON ART WALK ALLEY, next to the PILOT. But I saw Nola Range walking around with a camera taking photos. So I suggest you go to her website (www.wildriverscoastart.com) and see what she has to show-and-tell you. And if we are lucky, Bill Schlichting may put a few of his shots with words in the PILOT too.
So long until the next Art Walk on 13 December,
Horst
