PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College will host its Second Annual Culture Fair on Friday.
The free fair will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Pirate Union Building on the Port Angeles campus at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
The Culture Fair began in 2015 in an effort to spotlight the voices of young people and provide the opportunity for students to educate the college campus and community about tribal history, the college said in a news release.
This year, the Culture Fair will include a recognition of tribal flags.
Students from Peninsula College, Port Angeles High School, and other area schools have been collaborating during afternoon workshops in preparation for the fair.
This has included college experience workshops where students toured specialized areas of the campus and learned about academic and professional programs.
Guest artists are slated to work with students on projects such as carving, weaving, and beadwork.
Artists include Master Carver George David (Nuu-chah-nulth) and Mark Johnson (Makah), Master Weaver Theresa Parker, Jamie Valadez (Lower Elwha), Beadwork with Leilani Barkley (Lower Elwha), and Carver Darrell Charles (Lower Elwha).
