PENN COVE GALLERY in Coupeville is undergoing a remodel and won’t re-open until Saturday, Jan. 31.

New carpet will be installed, new paint applied and new art will be displayed with fresh pieces brought in from the gallery’s 26 artists.

The remodel started Jan. 19.

“We decided to do a change after our 20th anniversary,” woodworker GARY LEAKE said, referring to last year’s celebration.

Leake said the artists are grateful for building owners John and Irene Carr, who are paying for the new carpet. It’s the same carpet that was present when Penn Cove Gallery opened at its present Front Street location in June of 2000.

The Penn Cove Gallery rarely closes, shutting its doors only for three holidays a year, but this was a needed move to provide a fresh look, watercolor artist Phyllis Drummond said.

A soft reopening will happen from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 31 with a more grand reopening planned for March 7 during the Penn Cove Musselfest.

WHIDBEY PLAYHOUSE’S “Monty Python’s SPAMALOT” is on stage Feb. 6 through March 1. Shows are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 2:30 p.m. Sundays. The musical is lovingly ripped off of “Monty Phython and the Holy Grail.” Show features sumptuous sets and costumes, a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, a killer rabbit, and more madcap mirth than a headless knight.
