The Artists’ Registry Show with 60+ artists and “VOYAGER” by Steven Jensen close on May 31 at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art in Friday Harbor. Catch them before they leave.

On Memorial Day, the museum will close early at 2:30, so plan to beat the rush. 

From all over the county, emerging, accomplished and professional artists fill two galleries with works ranging from printmaking, painting, sculpture, jewelry, glass, textiles, wood carving and more.

Jensen’s atrium exhibit transforms the space with light and the aesthetic traditions of his Norwegian forebearers. His art explores the universal image of the boat and will take your breath away.

You can preview these shows at www.sjima-online.org.

The art museum is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday-Monday. Admission is $10 for museum members and those 18 and under admitted free of charge. 

The museum has all COVID protections in place for your safety as well as our staff and volunteers.
