PORT ANGELES — Harbor Art will host its grand opening celebration at a new location during Second Saturday Art Walk.
The gallery has moved from 110 E. Railroad Ave. to 114 N. Laurel St.
The celebration will be from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The move was necessitated by the pending demolition of the gallery’s site on Railroad Avenue to make way for the construction of a hotel.
“We found a magnificent new home at 114 N. Laurel,” said Bob Stokes about the artist cooperative.
“The newly renovated, larger space has also allowed for 10 new artists to join the gallery.”
Harbor Art’s artists include Stokes (paintings, sculpture, custom lighting), Cindy Elstrom (ceramics), Michael Long (watercolor), Tammy Hall (driftwood sculpture, mixed media), Eric Neurath (photography), Randy Radock (block prints), Jean Sigmar ( fiber, paintings), Kevin Willson (sculpture), Kate Golding (jewelry), Terri Enck (ceramics), Susan Kantowitz (glass), Sheila Shanti (painting, drawing, fiber), Keith Ross (photography), Garret Delabarre (painting, block prints), Shirley Mercer (watercolor), Tracy McCallum (turned wood), Chris Thompson (woodwork), Nancy Delgado (watercolors), Richard Shaw (custom art furniture), Ernst Ulrich Schafer (black-and-white photography), Gail McLain (jewelry) and Anna Wiancko-Chasman (ceramics, mixed media).
Here is roundup of other special events Saturday.

• Bar N9NE, 229 W. First St., will celebrate 2nd Friday Art Rock (2FAR)’s ninth anniversary with Three Too Many performing and artist Jeff Tocher painting.
The party will get started at 9 p.m. A $3 cover charge will help support the musicians and artists.
Exactly one year ago, Three Too Many rocked the 2FAR stage with Generation X and Millennial songs, with a good dose of Pacific Northwest authenticity, organizers said.
Sharon Thompson is on vocals, Mike Maxwell is on mouth harp, Jeff Clark is on slide guitar, and the Anderson brothers lay down the rhythm section.
Tocher is a generation-defying painter who creates whimsical explosions of color and harmony.
• One of a Kind Art Gallery, 115 E. Railroad Ave. Suite 105, will offer demonstrations by the featured artists of the month, Linda Parcell and Julie Senf.
The demonstrations will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.

Cleaves makes many kinds of jewelry, from bead stringing to making lamp work glass beads.
She will be offering classes in beginning jewelry making, that will cover all the important basics up to advanced wire wrapping.
