Blue Whole Gallery, an artists’ co-op located in downtown Sequim, celebrates its 25th Anniversary in June.

What started as “an experiment in excellence, a fine art gallery of professional artists pursuing creative originality” has continued and thrived to this day, members said.

Current membership includes two-dimensional and three-dimensional artists and fine art jewelry makers.

“As we begin our 25th year, we renew our commitment to present new and exciting shows with quality and originality,” member Ryoko Toyama said. “Thanks to the loyal and enthusiastic support of the community, the gallery will continue to bloom.”

The gallery is at 129 W. Washington St. For more information, call 360-681-6033 or visit bluewholegallery.com.
