WEEKEND: Artist to discuss Port Angeles art center’s sculpture project

PORT ANGELES — “Re Creation” is the name of a budding community project at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, and visiting educator Karen White is poised to introduce it Saturday.

In a lecture and discussion at 1 p.m. in the second-floor banquet room at The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave., White will explain the center’s plans for a community art project.

Everyone will be invited to participate in construction of an outdoor sculpture, said Robin Anderson, executive director of the fine arts center. The project, she added, could integrate natural and recycled materials, much like an animal’s nest.

White, a contractor from Kirkland who has worked with Anderson on other projects, will give an hour-long talk to include a visual presentation on her collaborative projects in communities across the country.

She’ll then discuss how Port Angeles residents of all ages can build their own sculpture.

A project design workshop is set for 1 p.m. June 1, also at The Landing mall, and community sculpture building days are scheduled June 12-15 at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

To find out more about the project, the center and its surrounding 5-acre Webster’s Woods art park — a city of Port Angeles property where admission is free — see www.PAFAC.org or phone 360-457-3532.

While Webster’s Woods is open daily from sunrise to sunset, the center’s Webster House art gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
