The Montlake Community Club is reviving a favorite neighborhood activity. We’ll have a tour this year of Gardens and Artist studios in the neighborhood on Sunday June 1 from 11am-2pm.

It’s an event in Montlake for the Montlake community. All gardens, big and small and art studios are welcome! Do you have interesting plants or a unique landscape element? Are you a ceramicist who wants to show your work? Consider signing up!

Tickets are $10 for adults (children are free) and we will have wristband pickup starting at 10:45am at Cafe Lago.  There also will be limited edition Garden and Art Tour Gear available for pre-order and limited quantities available the day of event. 

Please forward this along to neighbors who you think would be interested!

We look forward to seeing you there!

New for 2025, the Montlake Community Club will host a neighborhood Garden and Art tour to showcase the hidden beauty of the neighborhood and dedication of the local residents.

We’re in the process of planning and want to get your input! Do you have a garden or art that you’d like to showcase? Do you know of a great gardener or artist in the neighborhood? Do you want to volunteer?

Visit bit.ly/MontlakeGardenTour to provide input by 2/14/25.

Then take a jaunt across the street to Hall Spassov Gallery to enjoy their newest exhibit Women International, highlighting the work of six distinct female artists : Tracy Grubbs, Yool Kim, Francesca Sundsten (Estate), Kit King, SylC and Amber Cowan.

Shortly after announcing the event, the Community Center notified us that the event will be postponed. We’ll share as soon as there are updates!

Guess what Montlake? The Community Center is reopening soon and there is an event on October 26th from 12-3pm to kick things off!

We’ve all waited patiently, and a pillar of our community is now back.

Come for carnival games, cider, candy, and arts and crafts!

As custodians of such a big bright & airy gathering space, we want to make sure it can serve the community beyond the 7am-5pm timeframe.

The Oxbow space is open in the evenings for private events and community gatherings 7 days a week from 5pm – 9pm. Head to oxbowmontlake.com/events to fill out an event request or email events@oxbowmontlake.com.
