HOWARD/MANDVILLE GALLERY Howard/Mandville Gallery offers one of the largest collections of fine art in the greater Seattle area in a spacious 4,000 sq. ft. gallery located in Kirkland. Both regional and nationally acclaimed artists working in both contemporary and traditional styles are represented. You'll find over 60 artists who show with the gallery on a regular basis, including works in oil, acrylic, watercolor and bronze as well as rotating monthly exhibits. Kirkland's two art walks provide an opportunity to see new art in a festive environment. The Alley Second Thursday Art and Wine Walk Second Friday Downtown Kirkland Art Walk If you can't make the scheduled art walks plan a trip on your own. Routed from Peter Kirk Park over to the waterfront this self guided tour will explore many of the fine art galleries in the area— plan a few sustenance stops along the way. Self Guided Downtown Kirkland Art Tour COW AND COYOTE Located at the corner of Lake St. and Central Way, the Cow and Coyote was created by artist Brad Rude in 1995. You may remember it from its' previous home in Pioneer Square where it was voted the 3rd most popular sculpture in Seattle at that time. In 1995 Bill Ballantine purchased the piece and placed it in on its present site. The sculpture went up for sale in 2002, but a group of citizens pulled funds together and purchased it, along with The Water Bearers, a Glenna Goodacre piece in Brink Park. The Cow and Coyote is the most famous sculpture in Kirkland, entertaining locals and visitors alike. It is listed on numerous websites that provide arts and tourism information locally and nationally. Its quirky subjects—the cow and coyote, are traditionally decorated for holidays and events (it's likely you'll see a Santa hat on the cow during the Christmas holidays or a Seahawks shirt during football season). The sculpture is such an icon in the city that at one point, when it was moved temporarily for maintenance work, the city received so many calls from concerned citizens inquiring about the sculpture, that a hotline number was set up to inform them that the move was only temporary.
