UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS

UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE SALISH SEA

November 7 - January 2026

Location: Port Townsend Marine Science Flagship Landing Gallery, Port Townsend

Coordinators: Leslie Dickinson and Debra Olson

The exhibition, "Under the Surface of the Salish Sea," will focus on marine life. It is important to distinguish the Marine Science Center from the Maritime Center; therefore, please refrain from including boats or landscapes in your submissions.

Due to the limited size of the venue, we encourage keeping artwork small to accommodate as many participants as possible in the exhibition. We also welcome 3-D items, as we have multiple locations available for their display.

Please note that the Flagship Landing Marine Science Gallery charges a 30% commission on sales, which should be factored into your item pricing. We aim for a diverse selection of small, affordable art pieces, especially during the holiday season, so more members can showcase their work. Additionally, having replacement pieces ready in case items sell would be beneficial, as we prefer that the public can leave with their purchased items.

**Submission Deadline:** October 1

For detailed instructions on preparing your work for the exhibition, please refer to Caryl's guidelines on our website (see "Preparing Your Artwork for Exhibitions" and "Photos for Shows").

This is a juried show due to the limited space available. Elizabeth from the Marine Science Flagship Landing will serve on the jury and help guide the exhibition to align with the gallery's expectations.

If you need inspiration, consider visiting the Marine Science Museum at Fort Warden to stimulate your artistic creativity.
