Bellingham Local Frequency: Spring Art Scene and Live Music This Week

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Monday, March 23rd, 2026. We're starting this week with some great opportunities to get out and support local artists. If you're looking for something to do today, the Whatcom Community College Library is hosting "By the Books," a student art show featuring original work from visual arts classes. It's free to visit and open during regular library hours at the WCC Library on West Kellogg Road. This is a wonderful chance to see what our local students are creating and get inspired by fresh artistic perspectives right here in our community. Speaking of the art scene, there's some exciting momentum happening on the skateboard art front. Local artist Kelly Sorbel recently put out a call for submissions to a skateboard deck art show, and it's part of a broader movement bringing skateboard culture from gallery walls into shop windows around Bellingham. It's a creative way artists are reimagining where and how art can be displayed and experienced. For those looking for evening entertainment, Amendment 21 continues its weekly Sunday night performance series at Hotel Leo in downtown Bellingham, with shows running every Sunday from six to nine in the evening. It's become a regular gathering spot for folks looking to enjoy some live music and community connection right in the heart of downtown. If you're planning your week ahead, there's plenty happening at our local venues. The Mount Baker Theatre has several shows coming up, and El Capitan's continues to host regular events including their popular Just Dance night on Mondays. We should also mention that folks in Kittitas County were under a flood warning this past weekend, though that warning expired this morning. It's a good reminder to stay weather aware as we head into the spring season and conditions continue to shift. Whether you're an art enthusiast, music lover, or just looking for ways to stay connected to what's happening in Bellingham, there's plenty to explore. Get out and support our local businesses, artists, and venues. They make our community special. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
