Summertide 2021: The Endurance of Change
Outdoor Exhibition in Webster’s Woods Sculpture Park, Port Angeles, WA
Hosted by the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center •  Entry Deadline: May 8, 2021 at midnight PST

The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center seeks proposals for outdoor-friendly artworks to be exhibited in Webster’s Woods Sculpture Park. The theme of this year’s summer exhibit is The Endurance of Change, and we look forward to seeing all the ways that artists are inspired to explore and creatively expand upon the concept of change.

Existing pieces as well as proposals for new works will be considered. The selected works will be installed among more than 100 existing sculptures throughout the park’s 5 acres of forested parkland and open meadow. Applicants are encouraged to visit Webster’s Woods Sculpture Park to experience firsthand the park’s rugged terrain, second-growth Olympic forest, and striking views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
