On Whidbey and Camano Islands, art is not a passive experience. Almost everyone is engaged in some form of artistic expression, and for those who haven’t found their medium yet, this is a good place to take a creative quest. In an artistic calendar always bursting with events, perhaps the highlight of the year is the annual studio tour on each island. Explore the working space of a wide selection of local artists to see how their creative process unfolds, and purchase artwork that tells a story while supporting a local creator.
These islands are a good place to find talented teachers who can elevate your art or introduce you to a new form. Discover fine arts schools and studio-based classes, often in inspiring settings, taking advantage of abundant natural beauty. Galleries abound, and artist collectives host pop-up shows and events throughout the year. Whatever medium intrigues you, there is likely a talented island mentor to be found.
