Salish Explorations Exhibit

Salish Explorations opens at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center Gallery on Saturday, May 2nd with a special ArtWalk opening reception with Art Toolkit Founder and Expeditionary Artist Maria Coryell-Martin. The exhibit runs through July 31st, Thursday-Sunday from 12pm–3pm. Email us to arrange a special appointment.

The exhibit features field paintings and sketches from Maria’s Washington State Ferry artist-in-residency time on the local beaches. Her work highlights how the Salish Sea defines this region through its shifting light and atmosphere and Maria hopes to encourage a deeper appreciation for changing marine landscapes, to see the familiar in a new light, and to seek adventures close to home.

There are a few ways to experience the exhibit and create art together this spring, from the opening ArtWalk to a Sketch & Stroll and workshop! Learn more below.
