The Visual Arts Committee of Orcas Center is excited to announce the next community art show: “Orcas Retrospectives with Featured Artist Peter Fisher” in the lobby.
Installation day: Thursday, May 22, 10:15 a.m. to noon. Art opening: Friday, May 23, 5:30-7 p.m. On display: May 23 to June 24. Pickup: Wednesday, June 25, from 10:15 a.m. to noon. For this community show, let’s celebrate the history and art of our beautiful island! We are opening this show up to include pieces from artists who may have moved off-island or are no longer with us. Too often, beautiful artwork and photographs depicting our community live in individual collections, hidden from the public eye. Not this time!
For this show, we’re looking for recognizable Orcas landmarks or people from past or current Orcas artists. Artwork on display does not need to be for sale. During installation day, in addition to the title and artist, we will ask for a one-sentence description on how the piece is connected to Orcas. For examples, visit https://www.orcascenter.org/retrospectives. Artists are urged to attend and contribute hors d’oeuvres for the reception on Friday, May 23 at 5:30 p.m.
