A Northwest native with an abiding love of his region, Dickinson said he is drawn to places such as river pools on the Olympic Peninsula, old-growth forest groves and rocky coastal coves.

In addition to being a painter, Dickinson also works as Market Master in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, supporting the artists, farmers and performers as they do business in the historic daystalls.

Arts to Elders

PORT TOWNSEND — Seaport Landing Retirement and Assisted Living Community, 1201 Hancock St., will host a performance by the Choral Belles from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Friends and relatives of the residents as well as members of Northwind Arts Center are encouraged to attend. There is no admission fee.

The concert is presented by Arts to Elders in conjunction with the Northwind Arts Center and sponsored by the Port Townsend Arts Commission.

From songs of the 1920s to the year 2000 and later, the Choral Belles have delighted audiences with their serious and light-hearted songs, jazz such as Dave Brubeck’s Take Five and everything in between, organizers said.

Mea Graham, one of the singing birds, will describe the songs for the audience as they sing them and provide a brief background information on the performer and who made the song famous, or the purpose the creator had in writing the lyrics.

The Choral Belles was founded in Port Ludlow in 1996, with three of the original members still singing with the group.

The group’s mission is community service through music, they said. The members all have backgrounds in music from high school through college and some have had special training.

They have played in numerous venues throughout the North Olympic Peninsula and have released two albums.

The 27 member group is directed by Marylou Montgomery and accompanied by Jolene Visser.

For more information, call 360-379-9376.
