We have created a public sculpture destination on private property and will be hosting educational art related opportunities for artists to interact, educate, create commerce, and introduce a cultural experience for people of all ages. The goal is to provide education, to increase art awareness through events and curate tourism opportunities for the public. Therese Kingsbury www.wise.fun [email protected] (360) 969-5622 |

Whidbey Working Artists
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 the arts and artists of Whidbey Island with the broader NW community. Whidbey Island is home to a large, vibrant, diverse community of artists. As an organization we believe that opening our studios offers visitors the opportunity to share in the process of how art is created and a glimpse of how artists inhabit their creative space. This shared experience between artists and visitors provides a stimulating creative conversation that enhances the arts while also educating and developing an appreciation for the handcrafted.
