​In 2004 a small group of north central artists founded Whidbey Working Artists as a vehicle for promoting the visual arts and artists of  Whidbey Island. Our mission is to share our work with the broader NW community. We believe this tour offers visitors the opportunity to share in the process of how art is created and a glimpse of how artists inhabit their creative spaces. This shared experience provides a stimulating creative conversation, while enhancing appreciation for the artwork.
