Working Artists

Located on Commercial south of Art at the Port, the Working Artist Area includes artists demonstrating in a broad range of mediums. Consisting of regional invited artists, this area exposes the audience to the process by which art is born. Working Artist Area hours are Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 4.

Participants in 2007:

Bill Bailey – native carver
Gloria Lamson - interactive installation art
Katherine Lewis – willow basket weaving
Bill Mitchell - mural painting
Allen Moe - ceramics with surface treatment
Tracy W. Powell - stone carver
Sue Roberts - ceramic encaustic sculpture
Mary Snowden - traditional cedar basket and mat weaver
Paul Thorne - metal forging
Gustavo Vargas Ramirez - folk art painter

Artist Gloria Lamson from Port Townsend, will use rope from Puget Sound Rope Corporation to create an interactive installation entitled “This Place of Passage” in the Working Artist Area. Her piece will create a rope passageway that will allow Festival goers to participate by adding colorful tied fabric to express their thoughts and wishes. Her intent is to create a space for people to experience art as something we enter into and influence with our individuality.
