A new show of raku jars, kimono tiles and pastel colored tulip vases by Marguerite Goff opens Friday at the Anne Martin McCool Gallery in Anacortes.

Once the furor of a too-white Christmas is over and new year festivities are firmly in the past, the citizens of Anacortes can return to one of their more leisurely special events — the First Friday Gallery Walk 6-9 p.m. Friday.

What better way to spend an evening than walking off the holiday feast while enjoying fabulous artwork at several participating galleries? Standout shows include a new show of raku jars, kimono tiles and pastel colored tulip vases by Marguerite Goff at the Anne Martin McCool Gallery and continuing shows of Joel Brock’s pastels and acrylics at the Scott Milo Gallery and of fine art glass at the Depot Arts Center Gallery.

This month’s Gallery Walk:

• Anne Martin McCool Gallery, 711 Commercial Ave., presents raku by Marguerite Goff and work by McCool and other gallery artists.

• Insights Gallery is closed in January.

• Adrift, 510 Commercial Ave., is showing work by regional artists.

• Scott Milo Gallery, 420 Commercial Ave., continues its show of pastels and acrylics by Joel Brock, color photographs by Randy Dana, large-format photographs by Dick Garvey, oils by Diane Ainsworth, acrylics by Jennifer Bowman, wood tables by Gary Leake and photographs by Lewis Jones.

• The Depot Arts Center Gallery, 611 R Ave., is featuring art glass by Diane Light, Annette Tamm, Jose Hinojosa, Alison Sheafor-Joy, Mark Joy and Brian Kerkvliet. Photographs by Valley Camera Club are on display in the Baggage Room Gallery.
