Arts at the Port
About our Juror Michael Monroe, Seattle, has been involved with the contemporary American studio craft movement for over 50 years. In addition to his current status as Director Emeritus of the Bellevue Art Museum, Monroe served as Executive Director of the American Craft Council and Curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery. He worked with President and Mrs Clinton to curate a collection of contemporary American craft for the White House - and on several related assignments for Presidents Carter and Bush.
Allen Family Focus Gallery – “Animalia” The Allen Family Focus Gallery features the work of four Skagit Valley artists who have national and international recognition for their work. Robert McCauley – Painter McCauley has created a mode of realism that is haunting and full of ambiguity. His distinctive animals manage to seem literal and symbolic at the same time and the viewer is suspended between these realms.
Shelley Muzylowski Allen – Muzylowski Allen sculpts glass animal forms that capture tension in movement and recall the connections between humans and the animal kingdom. Striving to bring a painterly quality to her dynamic medium, she layers color to add depth to the sculpture being made.
Rik Allen – Allen’s glass spacecraft, rockets, and scientific apparatus are well known in the glass world. For this show he is collaborating with Lanny Bergner to create mixed media creatures with both the translucency and fluidity of glass and the structured forms of Stainless steel mesh. Lanny Bergner – Berger is a mixed media artist who uses metal mesh to create organic forms and vessels and a process of “painting” on mesh with torch flame. In working with Rik Allen, he creates the skeletal structure through which Allen blows glass.

Festival Food Island Eatery at 3rd Street | Food Truck Alley at 6th Street The Festival has TWO main areas to find food.

Beer/Wine Gardens Our Beer and Wine Gardens offer a great place to relax and listen to music. Each location has its own identity and features a combination of beer, wine and cocktails. Hideout Bar – 3rd St - the main Festival beer garden features micro-brews, wine and margaritas.
Reunion Wine Bar – 10th St. – a lineup of regional varietals from Maryhill Winery and beer.
Waterfront Pub – Port Transit Shed dock – beer & wine plus Margaritas, Bloody Marys and signature vodka cocktails. The Festival is doing its part to be environmentally responsible with a recycling program sponsored by Shell Refinery.

Volunteer Highlight Two of our volunteers – Michelle Johnson and Cindy Maier – love the Festival SO MUCH that they have been coming to Anacortes every year for over a decade to volunteer. Driving all the way from Driggs and Boise, Idaho, they show up just in time to help with Thursday evening setup – then continue their work into the weekend when they help with lunch delivery to booth artisans. While they’re here, they also prove to be pretty good shoppers at the Festival!
