Exhibit spotlights Port Angeles artist
In time for Women’s History Month, the North Olympic History Center is teaming up with the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center to explore the life and legacy of a Port Angeles artist Esther Barrows Webster (1903-85).
Webster became an award winning painter as well as an outspoken community leader and champion of the arts. Upon her death in 1985, she bequeathed her home and estate to the community to become the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center.
“Creating a Scene: The Legacy and Vision of Esther Webster,” an exhibition of Webster’s modern paintings, prints and sketches opened in February at the gallery that now occupies her former residence.
The exhibit will be a topic of discussion at the North Olympic History Center’s North Olympic Voices — a free, public monthly arts and lecture series of the North Olympic History Center — set for 2 p.m. Sunday, March 14. The presentations is live-streamed at clallamhistoricalsociety.com.
“Creating a Scene” is sponsored by KONP and will be on display through April 25 at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd. The gallery is open 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday through Sunday; admission is free by donation. Visit pafac.org.
