Barbara Slavik is stepping down as education director at the Fine Arts Center in Port Angeles

Retirement party today for fine arts center education director

PORT ANGELES — A retirement celebration for Barbara Slavik, who was the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center’s director of education for 22 years, is from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. today at the center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

Slavik is retiring from the center — but not from the art community.

“I have mixed emotions,” Slavik, 63, said last Friday, her final day of work.

“This has been my life for so long,” she said, though adding, “I’m looking forward to getting back to my own work.”

“My first thing will be to fix up my studio,” Slavik said.

Kyle Zimmerman, co-owner of The Hub at Front and Lincoln streets in downtown Port Angeles, adds a new coat of paint on Wednesday to an advertising sign on the back of his building that was uncovered during the demolition of a derelict building that once hid the sign from view. Zimmerman said The Hub, formerly Mathews Glass and Howe's Garage before that, is being converted to an artist's workspace and entertainment venue with an opening set for late May or early June. Although The Hub will have no control over any new construction that might later hide the automotive signs, Zimmerman said restoring the paint is an interesting addition to the downtown area for as long as it lasts.
