This year’s theme, Art in Conservation, will showcase local artists’ work.

One of the featured artists will be Gabriel Newton and his series of paintings entitled “SUPER POD: All Together.”

The collection depicts the 74 remaining Southern Resident orcas on pieces of wood reclaimed from the shores of the Salish Sea.

The program will include an artist panel discussion, co-hosted by North Olympic Land Trust and the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center.

Following the panel discussion, this year’s Out Standing in the Field winner will be awarded, and there will be an update from the land trust.
