Three Exhibitions

The annual Juried Arts at the Port showcases regional fine art and craft. Our juror is Jake Seniuk, recently retired Director and Curator of the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center. The Juried Competition includes 46 regional artists with over 100 works of art in drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and fine craft. For details on applying to the Juried Art exhibition see our Guidelines.

This year's Allen Family Focus Gallery showcases different inspirations in stone. Work by three prominent regional artists demonstrates the variety of technique and effect in using this ancient material.

Rounding out the Arts at the Port Exhibitions is the ever-popular Youth Art Exhibition, organized and presented by Anacortes Community and Youth Arts.
