Spaceness is an annual art confab organized by Julia Barbee, Matt Suplee, Alison Jean Cole and many volunteers. It is loosely themed on futurism, the unknown, space, aliens and regional nature-based mysticism. The weekend, beginning late Friday dinnertime, and extending to Sunday noon, includes visual art, installations, music and performance. It's centered at the Sou'wester hotel trailer park in Seaview, Washington which has a direct connection to the Pacific Ocean beach where some installations engage. Recommended.
All information is on their spaceness.com. It is an about 2 1/2 hour drive each way, consider lodging on the coast nearby. Friday 5 to Sunday noon. Free
