Artist groups and galleries
|

Downtown Poulsbo's Front Street is host to many galleries and shops–it's a fun area to explore. I've been a member of this artist coop since November 2018. The Front Street Gallery is located at 18881-A Front St. NE, and open Friday–Monday 10 am to 6 pm, and Tuesday–Thursday 11 am to 3 pm. Facebook and Instagram.
Founded in 2018, this group of 14 printmakers are active in supporting each others explorations in various methods of printmaking, putting on group shows, and active in the Wayzgoose Kitsap steam roller annual Labor Day printing event.
Collective Visions Gallery
A stellar group of West Sound professional artists showcase their art in the heart of downtown Bremerton. I showed my tiles, relief prints and paintings here since 2003. I left the gallery in 2021 after 18 years of active membership. Check out their First Friday art walk-5 to 8pm. The gallery is a short walk from the Bremerton ferry dock. Look for them on facebook and instagram!
