Get a behind-the-scenes look at the creativity and collaboration behind Tangled Fibers, a group of four Peninsula artists whose “Undersea Garden” exhibit recently opened at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

Three of the Tangled Fibers artists — including Pat Herkal, Barbara Ramsey, and Cathie Wier — will speak at the center’s upcoming virtual ArtBites event on Friday, Sept. 25.

Topics include what artists find most valuable about working together, their advice for others interested in collaborating, and about the current exhibit.

Tickets for the virtual event are $10, with proceeds benefiting the nonprofit arts center. A limited number of tickets are available: visit pafac.org for more information or to reserve tickets.

“Undersea Garden: A Voyage of Wonder and Imagination” opened on Sept. 12. The four artists behind the exhibit are Herkal, Ramsey, Wier and Jean Marie Tarascio, all from Port Townsend. The group, collectively known as Tangled Fibers, has met regularly since 2016.

The “Undersea Garden” exhibit may be viewed in the Esther Webster Gallery, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday-Sunday, through Nov. 15. Visitors are required to wear masks and a limited number of people are allowed in the gallery at one time.
