The park features a dog off-leash area, skate park, picnic shelter, and children’s play equipment. The design should take into consideration ease of maintenance and resistance to vandalism. A laser-cut, powder-coated steel image is desirable to reduce the amount of surface area available for tagging and areas where a person may be concealed. The art panel is planned to measure sixteen feet wide and four feet high and would be anchored onto a concrete curb. Full details are available on the City of Wenatchee website:  https://www.wenatcheewa.gov/services/bid-opportunities.

The post Open Call – Hygge: The Gift of Comfort appeared first on North Central Washington Arts Alliance.

Unbridled brings together the work of Daphne Sweet and Charlie-Anne Hopkins to examine the landscapes, mythologies, and cultural inheritance of the American West. The work in this exhibition explores how Western and classical narratives have shaped ideas of power, labor, gender, and belonging, reimagining these inherited stories through care, embodiment, and material practice.

Daphne Sweet’s paintings draw from classical art history and personal allegory, reworking familiar motifs through bold color, ornament, and layered symbolism. By reclaiming the female figure from the historical male gaze, her work transforms classical imagery into a visual language of agency, presence, and abundance.

Charlie-Anne Hopkins approaches the Western landscape through lived experience with horsemanship, land stewardship, and material practice. Their work reinterprets Western iconography through care, labor, and ecological attentiveness, challenging narratives of conquest while exploring relationships between bodies, land, and inheritance.

Together, Sweet and Hopkins create a dialogue between classical ideals and Western mythology, offering a vision of the West rooted not in dominance or nostalgia, but in relationship, tenderness, and the possibility of new forms of kin.
