Arts at the Port - 2012
Arts at the Port is a waterfront venue showcasing contemporary fine art exhibitions. It is located at the far north end of the Festival, in the historic waterfront Port Transit Shed Event Center.
Three Art Exhibitions
This year we will re-establish the annual Juried Arts at the Port to showcase regional fine art and craft. Our juror is Barbara Matilsky, Curator of the Art at the Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, WA. See Art Guidelines for information about applying for the Juried Art exhibition.
The John L. Scott Focus Gallery features an exciting photography exhibition. The Festival will honor Skagit Valley photographers Dick Garvey and Lee Mann, showing their large scale and traditional work. Also showcased will be Kathy Hastings of Snohomish, WA, who does photo-encaustic work, and Ruth Westra from Camano Island, WA with photography on ceramic.
Rounding out the Arts at the Port Exhibitions is the ever-popular Youth Art Exhibition, organized and presented by Anacortes Community and Youth Arts.
