Beautiful outdoor gallery, and I really like the local artists' goods that are for sale. My grandkids love it and learn something new there every time they go.
The indoor gallery is small-ish but had some really cool pieces. The sculpture garden is quite impressive, having 50+ sculptures and weaving them into the surroundings in a way that feels very cohesive and organic. The property also has some nice views of the rest of the city.
This is an underrated attraction to visit in Port Angeles. The indoor gallery itself isn't very large. In fact, when we visited, they were only showcasing works by a single artist. However, don't discount their 5 acres of tree-converted grounds where permanent outdoor art exhibits seemingly appear from behind the brush or are integrated with nature. Visit during the summer months (after July 4th in the PNW through September) when it's warmer and dryer to enjoy these outdoor exhibits. There are even string lights along the trails to light them up in the evening hours.
We enjoyed the walk around the grounds to take in the art. When we went inside, we had a lovely chat with Lynn. There was also one of those free art/leave art libraries, which was a small pleasure. The history of the founding of the centre was also really inspiring; can't wait for them to have a larger area dedicated to it.
Art center was closed, but the outdoor sculpture park was a fun stroll. It's a few acres of woods and meadow to explore looking for the artwork. Being outdoors, some works are in better shape than others, but looking them on the various winding paths was the entertaining part.
A peaceful and serene wonder. Loved the indoor art gallery but the sculpture park was outstanding. Strolling through several acres of heavy shade (trees, ferns, ivy, etc) interspersed with eclectic and thought provoking art sculptures and poetry. Absolutely would do this again
Highly recommend the outdoor walk, especially at Christmas. There are a lot of neat classes and celebrations. The winter solstice festival/ lantern festival is awesome
