Port Angeles Fine Arts Center to host presentations

PORT ANGELES — The Civic Minds and Creative Hearts series will present “A Deep Dive into Art and Science” from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday.

The presentation will be at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.

Tickets are $18 per person, $15 for members of the Fine Arts Center, at https://pafac.kindful.com/e/civic-minds-creative-hearts-water-connects-us-all.

The series will feature presentations by Carla Stehr and April Surgent inspired by the marine conservation themes from the center’s current exhibition, “Water Connects Us All.”

Stehr, a retired marine biologist, will discuss how her fiber art has been influenced by the microscopic images she photographed as a scientist.

Surgent will share the backstory and the larger message she hopes to convey of “Portrait of an Ocean,” which she is currently displaying in the center’s Esther Webster Gallery.

Both artists will be available for questions after the presentations.

Ticket fees will be used to offset the costs associated with the “Water Connects Us All” exhibit, which includes shipping works of art from Washington, D.C.; Edinburgh, Scotland; Surrey, B.C.; and from throughout Washington, including Bellingham, Bellevue, Port Townsend and the Skagit Valley.
