A local arts collective called White Center for the Arts is holding their first Open Studio Art Tour from 5-10pm on Saturday, Feb. 21st at the White Center for the Arts Building (formerly the Southgate Skate Rink) and current home of the White Center Swap Meet.

Speaking of Swap Meets, it looks like that weekend event is being re-tooled (at least for one day) as “Rat City Rummage” on Saturday Feb. 28th from 10am-6pm, with “live art, food and vendors selling whatever they can fit in their space!” There are still 10 x 10 foot vending spaces available for just $20 – email ratcityrummage@hotmail.com for more information.

Here’s a snippet from their press release:

White Center for the Arts is a group of six artists with diverse backgrounds who have come together to form a non-profit organization focused on supporting the arts in White Center.

Our desire is to offer space where local artists can show their work, and to provide a place to learn learn about art.

We want to provide classes to young and old in many media, bringing out the rich diversity of culture that can be found in White Center.

And we want to have fun!
