An artistic memorial to disappearing glaciers, a melodrama in Sequim and a circus in Quilcene are among activities on tap this weekend on the North Olympic Peninsula.
• “Terminus: A Glacier Memorial Project,” will open at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., today, with a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The exhibit was created in partnership with Olympic National Park, Washington’s National Park Fund and Discover Your Northwest and the arts center to serve as a tribute to the vanishing glaciers while inspiring conversations about climate change.
While the art is housed virtually on the park’s website, www.nps.gov/olym/ terminus.htm, most of it also will be exhibited at the fine arts center through Sept. 3. The center is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.
