WHIDBEY GIRLS CHOIR
Whidbey Girls’ Choir is contributing to our community by creating musically literate and confident young women. We teach musicianship, voice, music theory, ear training and sight singing in an environment where students enjoy the company of other girls who love to sing while making world-class music and developing life-long friendships! We are starting with a one level choir for girls from 5th - 12th grade with prior musical experience a plus, but not required.

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.
