PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center is seeking artwork for several upcoming exhibitions.
The center plans to show three new exhibits this year, “Summertide: Function in the Forest,” “Poetry in the Park” and “Surf, Skate and Snow,” as well as art for the annual Wintertide Makers Market.
Olympic Peninsula Authors are curating poetry submissions on the theme of “The Music of Summer” for the fourth year of Poetry in the Park.
The program prints locally written poetry on display boards that will be posted in Webster’s Woods.
Submissions are due by March 31 and may be in any poetry format up to 28 lines in length.
Poems should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document attached to an email to olypenauthors@olypen.com; authors should include their contact information with their submission.
Selected poets will read their submission on June 14 during the Summertide Solstice Art Festival, and the poems will remain on display for the following year.

The Fine Arts Center also is seeking outdoor-friendly, functional artwork for permanent installation in Webster’s Woods.
“Summertide: Function in the Forest” will feature sculptures that offer utility, inspire interaction and deepen visitors’ connection to the environment.
Installations will be accepted from artists and teams nationwide until April 20.

Entries should be submitted by May 10.
