Recent Exchange Highlights Community Engagement and Artistic Collaboration

Whidbey Island continues to foster its reputation as a vibrant hub for artistic exchange, recently welcoming two young glassblowers from Pretoria, South Africa—Kgomotso Mtsweni and Thato Kokwana. Both artists are fine art graduates of Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria. Their visit, hosted by WIAC President and longtime glass artist Katrina Hude through the Kay Parsons Memorial Fund, exemplifies the Whidbey Island Arts Council’s vision of connecting the community with creative minds from around the world.

Whidbey Island Arts Council (WIAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is seeking an assistant bookkeeper. This is a contract position for 8-10 hours per week.

Whidbey Island Arts Council (WIAC) invites you to join us as we continue to support the arts on Whidbey Island! We've been at it since 1980!

You don't need to be an artist, performer, writer or creative in any way... just be committed to helping us make sure the arts remain an integral part of life on Whidbey.

Haydee Nucamendi and Cristopher Diaz  -- First Visiting Oaxacan Artists sponsored by WIAC’s Kay Parson Memorial Fund. The Whidbey Working Artists Studio Tour was held on August 16th and 17th. It has been accepted practice during the studio tour for artists to share studio space. By sharing space, artists can showcase more than one type of creative work and enhance the experience for the visitors.

Today, as we prepare to welcome the first of our visiting artists, sponsored by the new Kay Parsons Memorial Fund, we find that the funding to support this visit is slightly short. So, with the generosity of one of our greatest supporters, we are offering some beautiful original pieces from Mexico as premiums for your support! Thanks to Diane Divelbess, herself an accomplished printmaker, for her generous donation. Please join her in support of the Kay Parsons Memorial Fund for Visiting Artists!
