An Artists Retreat
The quaint and picturesque seaport city of Port Townsend exudes all of the charm and beauty you would likely see in a typical Norman Rockwell painting, with its lush, green rolling hills and bluffs dotted with Victorian homes overlooking the city’s historic waterfront district. Colorful landscapes and seascapes abound as far as the eye can see and, of course, Port Townsend is huge on small town congeniality. Undoubtedly, it is the raw, natural symmetry in and around Port Townsend that has attracted and enticed so many artists over the decades. As a result, some have been able to capture the “Rockwell-ish” feel of the city as depicted in many of the paintings you will find in the local galleries. Artist or not, it seems like more and more folks who discover Port Townsend find that they never want to leave!
First Saturday Gallery Walks
Enjoy an evening out on the town with family and friends discovering the abundance of local artists at Port Townsend Art Galleries Gallery Walk the first Saturday of each month from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Port Townsend Art Galleries are located in the historic downtown area on or near Water Street, a few minutes away from the Whidbey Island ferry. Just about every art medium you can imagine is represented at the several art galleries in Port Townsend, and most of them offer complimentary appetizers and beverages.
