Winter Wonderland Twinklefest Windows
Olympia Downtown Alliance approached OAA with a request to engage local student artists to create winter themed windows for the City’s Holiday lights event, Oly Twinklefest. Olympia Artspace Board Members and volunteers led by Lucy Gentry and Tracy Jameson and volunteers created four beautiful installations to highlight the student’s work.

We provided over 175 art kits made up of winter bird images, pastels, and watercolor pencils to students to decorate their hand-cut birds. These beautifully decorated feathered friends and lighted lanterns are displayed on found branches turned frosty trees with a snowy backdrop of paper chains created from sheet music brings this happy scene together.
