South @ Pybus
2026-02-06 11:00 - 21:00 | SOUTH in Pybus, North Worthen Street, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
This First Friday, sip into surrealism ✨Introducing Alquimia Gris, a cocktail inspired by La Creación de las Aves by Remedios Varo, the Mexican surrealist known for weaving autobiography, travel, exile, and quiet magic into her work.
Varo often painted figures that mirrored herself, exploring themes of creation, transformation, and inner worlds shaped by movement and displacement. Her art feels like a journey—intimate, mysterious, and deeply imaginative—and Alquimia Gris captures that same spirit.
Made with tequila, Earl Grey honey syrup, dry vermouth, fresh lemon juice, and expressed orange, this drink is layered, thoughtful, and a little otherworldly.
Join us at South this First Friday.🍸 Come taste the art. Let the magic linger.

Matthew Pippin will be at Ye Olde Bookshoppe with his latest book for the First Friday Art Walk, Feb. 6th, 4-6 p.m.
Kisses From The Moon is the story of Carlos Hernández, an artist in New York City, who gets more than he bargained for when one of his models goes off the deep end and becomes obsessed with a relationship that isn’t there.
Once the model is permanently out of Carlo’s life, the real horror truly begins as a series of paintings depicting 15 cryptids begin their hunt for the artist.

Matthew Pippin was born in Wenatchee and finds his happiness mostly in the performing arts. After finding a manuscript that he completed when he was 24, he published his first book, Nine Strangers, in 2023. Kisses From The Moon is his fourth book, and more stories are on the way.
Almir Mestre León is the cover artist based in Las Tunas, Cuba.

Bio
A gifted soul who connects to others through various art forms, Malachi is an accomplished young artist who has produced original music, dabbled in numerous art genres, and been commissioned by diverse collectors for his remarkable graffiti-style canvases. Initially exposed to art through his mother, who raised her children engaging in creative activities, Malachi improved his artistic foundation as he entered a high school art course to enhance his abilities. At eighteen years old and with a promising career ahead of him, Malachi was given a terminal diagnosis (Batten’s Disease CLN2) that would alter his life & journey through art (including tremors, brain deuteriation, and vision failure (currently going blind), just a few in a long list of abilities he will lose). Unwilling to shy away from a challenge, Malachi saw an opportunity to pursue aerosol expressionism, which allowed him to access untapped potential that proved to be beneficial to his already blossoming reputation as an artist. This journey has led him to tremendous successes, including being commissioned by Nike executives for original works and donating one of his first pieces to the Seattle Children’s Adult Autism Center, raising 5k for the organization with one art piece. Malachi has chosen to use his diagnoses and art expression to document his journey/mental health through his art. Malachi’s Art has been displayed & sold in the halls of the Seattle Children’s Institute and Black Lab Gallery /Bar in Everett. In his free time, Malachi enjoys listening to classical piano music and producing it. He is also an avid athlete who has trained and competed in powerlifting for a Special Olympics (9-time gold medalist). Meet your artist, Malachi Castillote, a rare disease patient & local artist.
