Glacier memorial, melodrama, circus on Peninsula this weekend

An artistic memorial to disappearing glaciers, a melodrama in Sequim and a circus in Quilcene are among activities on tap this weekend on the North Olympic Peninsula.

• “Terminus: A Glacier Memorial Project,” will open at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., today, with a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The exhibit was created in partnership with Olympic National Park, Washington’s National Park Fund and Discover Your Northwest and the arts center to serve as a tribute to the vanishing glaciers while inspiring conversations about climate change.

While the art is housed virtually on the park’s website, www.nps.gov/olym/ terminus.htm, most of it also will be exhibited at the fine arts center through Sept. 3. The center is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.

It will continue through July 23 with shows at 7 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. The Sequim Lavender Weekend will be July 21-23.

Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for students.

Sponsored by the Sequim Lavender Experience, it includes a whole new Olio Act: The Boyz in das Boat, that tells, comically, the heroic story of the 1936 Olympic gold medal rowing team.
