Port Angeles Fine Art Center
Upcoming Events
Surf, Skate, & Snow
July 18th - September 7th, 2025
Opening Reception: Thursday, July 17th | 5PM-7PM
Surf, Skate, & Snow, explores the dynamic intersection of sport, design, and creative placemaking in harmony with the natural landscape. This exhibit showcases the work of regional and national artists, past and present who have drawn inspiration from the connected movement and reverence for the land that unfolds from these activities. From the artistic legacy of Esther Webster, the founder of the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, who was a trailblazer in the early ski culture of the region, to those current artists using innovative mixed media design and eco-friendly experimental techniques to develop functional and inspiring works of art, their collective body of work reflects a shared value for the exhilarating ways our bodies and minds can move in harmony with our environment.

WePlayers present The Keeper
Friday- Sunday, September 5th-7th
We are excited to welcome WePlayers, a site-specific theatre company from the San Francisco Bay Area, to Webster's Woods for a weekend run of The Keeper. The Keeper tells the story of a woman who joyfully chooses a solitary existence with a singular purpose - to keep the light. Inspired by many try stories of female lighthouse keepers, this one woman tour-de-force performance explores the comfort we can find in custom and the softness and ease in seclusion. Joy and absurdity abound in this transformative tale about the power of practice and patience. As we follow Caretta through her days caring for the light and its house, witnessing and learning the rules of this absurd place, we discover that the only remedy for seeping existential doubt is a magical solution. Tickets available now!
