Historic downtown showcases Northwest artists, music and fine selections for Auburn’s Art Walk and Wine Tasting event on Friday, May 12.

The event is from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at many downtown businesses.

Artists will display and sell their original handmade art work in downtown businesses. Art includes acrylic/oil/water color paintings, mixed media, metal, photography, wood working, glass, wearable art and jewelry. A variety of art will be on display and for purchase from Art Spirit, created by inmates at the Washington State Penitentiary in Shelton.
