Special to the Reporter

Clarke & Clarke Art + Artifacts’ unique gallery format continues to represent the art works of many cultures with a widely diverse selection of objects.

Each one has been chosen for what is considered to be the unique perspective of the artist, its history as well as artistic merit, significance of symbolism and is selected as representative of a variety of diverse cultures.

Featured in our June 7 Mercer Island First Friday Art Walk from 5-8 p.m. and throughout the month will be the “Artistic Diversity” of the masks, sculpture and objects of art alongside the contemporary abstract paintings and artwork of our current artists Marilyn Bergstrom, Larry Halvorsen, Noble Golden, Diana Grant, Sharon Carr, Lindsey Carr and Jan Tervonen and jewelers Laurette O’Neil and Jane Drucker.

Also featured will be special collection of vintage and antique treasures for Father’s Day. One example is an 11-inch-tall 1950s German beer stein with a music box in the base.

Join us for a creative evening of treasure hunting at the art walk at Sothebys, Barrels, Suzanne Zahr, Aljoya, MIVAL, Coldwell Banker Bain, John L Scott and Cascade Frames. Maps will be available at each location.
