JUNE 4-5, 9 – 1 PM
It’s our 10th Annual Open House at the Freeland Art Studios, we hope you’ll come and see what’s new at the Freeland Art Studios 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 5.
.
We’ve got a couple new faces at FAS this year. Charles LaFond is a master potter and creates a wide variety of functional pottery, and Gail Liston has joined us bringing along a splash of color in her paintings. You’ll see some of the same familiar faces (notice I am not saying “old faces” here). See new work by all the artists and find out what everyone else has been up to over the long COVID year.
.
Freeland Art Studios is a large studio space, over 7000 sq. feet, so there’s lots of space for social distancing. FAS houses multiple separate artist workspaces with artists working in a variety of different media including: stone, metal, clay tile, pottery, oil and acrylic painting, cast glass, wood, resin paintings, mixed media and water features. Artists are: Penelope Crittenden, Carol Rose Dean, Charles LaFond, Gail Liston, Ben Medford, Matt Monforte, Woody Morris, Sue Taves, Lane Tompkins, and Lloyd Whannell.
.
Most of the artists will be at the studio for the open house and will have completed art for sale as well as new works in process. We hope you will stop by to see what’s new.
You can find us at 1660 Roberta Avenue off of Harbor Ave in Freeland (behind Whidbey Island Bank and the WAIF Thrift store.)
