Capitol Hill should have a sunny 2nd Thursday October art walk. Around 50 venues are now participating in the monthly walk including the Frye Art Museum for the first time. Sound Mental Health, by the way, will not be participating.
CHS, however, will be. We’ve signed on to help sponsor the event so you’ll see the crow out and about Thursday night and many of our partners and advertisers throwing their doors open for the crowd. CHS advertiser HEALEO is out of crow buttons, however, so you’ll need to drop by nearby Poco Wine Room to get yours.
You also might want to stop by CHS partner Office Nomads’ 2nd birthday bash. They’ll be serving up drinks and snacks to celebrate their second anniversary in business on Capitol Hill on Boylston just off Pine.
And/Or swing by 12th Ave’s Retrofit Home for TackySmack vinyl wall art. They’re promising champagne and DJs galore.
Here’s a complete list of venues and what fun stuff they’ll have on display Thursday night. If there’s something on the list you want everybody else to know about, please leave a note in the comments.
Some highlights from October Blitz include:
“The Old, Weird America: Folk Themes in Contemporary Art” at the Frye Art Museum — Cynthia Norton, “Dancing Squared, 2004“
October 8th – Whimsy Home Decor – Justin Hillgrove

Jesus, I see enough of her all summer when she’s sunning herself in the park on the corner of (I think) Summit & Harrison (another reason I’m disposed to not liking parks). Hopefully she’ll at least dress a bit more modestly now that it’s colder out. I think she lives in my building too, or at least she knows someone here because I see her hanging around all the time.
Capitol Hill CROW. Sorry, I read too fast and I just got back from Password.
Perhaps the quality of the art is as important as the number of the venues … and the it is nice to have the Frye, but, it is free and open all the time … nothing novel and it more First Hill. I am not going to walk there.
I can do the 5-6 places near my night job, on a break, but that is about it.
Nice project, needs some goals and focus. If it is new art, why then the Frye?
In one key way, yes. Expanding this beyond Pike/Pine seems like a worthy goal. It gets people out and visiting their local shops and it gives an excuse to walk in some of the places that you might not have on another night.
