Clallam County High School Artists

May 18 - July 6

 

ArtPaths: Portfolio, now in its third year, has established itself as an opportunity that young Peninsula artists eagerly look forward to each spring. Coming on the heels of Strait Art, PAFAC’s adult “portfolio” exhibition, it rounds out the picture of the Peninsula art scene with a glimpse of the future.

Curated by PAFAC education director Barbara Slavik, the show features a small ensemble of works by each of 22 of the region’s most promising student artists from the Port Angeles, Sequim, Crescent, Quillayute Valley and Cape Flattery school districts.

The aim of the show is to instill a sense of professionalism in ambitious students and to stimulate the production of a coherent portfolio that will demonstrate their talents and hopefully launch them along future art paths. Slavik works closely with the art teachers and students in weekly sessions from February up to the show’s opening, helping the young artists develop their work and prepare for an effective and professional display.
