San Juan Islands Museum of Art

The San Juan Islands Museum of Art invites the community to a free artist talk with glass artist Raven Skyriver on Wednesday, September 9, from 6 to 7 PM, in the museum's Sterner Atrium Gallery. Skyriver, who grew up on Lopez Island, creates glass sculptures inspired almost entirely by marine life, trained under mentor Lark Dalton and at Pilchuck Glass School, and worked with the William Morris studio team before establishing his own internationally exhibited practice. His work is on view through September 14 as part of " Fluid Life: Glass Sculptures Inspired by the Sea" . The museum is located at 540 Spring Street in Friday Harbor; general admission is $10, free for visitors 18 and under.

Three exceptional exhibitions will fill the San Juan Islands Museum of Art’s galleries this summer. Convergence & Divergence: The Family Aesthetic. For the first time, the work of renowned photographers Imogen Cunningham and her son Rondal Partridge will be shown with her husband and acclaimed etcher Roi Partridge. This ground-breaking exhibition explores how artistic vision is passed through generations, and how these artists shaped and responded to their times while pursuing their art. Fluid Life—Glass Sculptures Inspired by the Sea.  Influenced by his San Juan Islands surroundings, the luminous work of international glass artist Raven Skyriver recreates the essence of aquatic life by mimicking the movement and fluidity that define creatures in water. Feathered Masterpieces. Chris Maynard carves feathers into intricate art—cutting them into detailed shapes and arranging the cutouts into scenes that celebrate the life and flight of birds. Each piece changes with the intensity and angle of light, highlighting the patterns and colors of the feathers, inviting the viewer to look and look again.
