UPDATE: Art Walk Creator Manya Vee Selects to Skip Tonight's Event

Despite the snow and icy conditions, the Edmonds Third Thursday Art Walk is on tap today from 5 to 8 p.m. at various locations downtown.

"We're not cancelling the Art Walk," said Manya Vee of , who started the event with her husband a decade ago. "We never have in 10 years. We leave it up to individual merchants to choose whether to remain open or not."

Manya Vee Selects is one of those merchants who will be closed. "OK, the weather won," Manya Vee said on a Facebook post. "We have decided to stay home today, too, and skip the Art Walk for the first time in 10 years. I feel quite conflicted about it, but it truly is rather dangerous to get there from the Greenwood neighborhood. Sorry! We'll be back up as soon as we can."

The art walk now attracts up to 600 visitors, who tonight will be able to partake in arts, entertainment,  tastings and demos.

Entertainment will be provided by the Rich Cole jazz trio at Cole Gallery, David Little playing piano at Edward Jones, and live music at The Loft.

Manya Vee Selects has a printable guide of all the activities and locations planned for the Art Walk, and even has a map. It can come in handy when deciding where to go.
