Welcome to the 58th Anacortes Arts Festival
T
hank you for joining us this year and celebrating Peace, Love and Art. Whether you are
escaping your busy life for a few hours or for the whole weekend, we hope that you find
yourself joyful and inspired.
We think that there is no better place to escape the realities of life for a short while than at the
Anacortes Arts Festival, in beautiful downtown Anacortes. With almost 300 booth artists, a first-
class fine art show, 40 musical entertainers, culinary delights galore, beer gardens to socialize in and
activities for all ages….you will certainly find your happy place.
In between visiting your favorite booth artisans, there are some happenings at the Festival that you
won’t want to miss:
• At Arts at the Port, take some time to be with “Say Their
Names.” The Anacortes Regeneration Project is an artist
driven response to the phenomenon of mass shootings in
America. Over thirty Skagit Valley artists have created
over 970 individual ceramic rocks, each displaying the
name, event, date and age of an individual killed in 84 mass
shootings in America. Included in those names are 37 children
under the age of 11, and 40 Washington State first responders.
• While you are taking in Arts at the Port, you will be inspired
by another collaborative installation. The Festival is honored
to showcase a youth project coordinated by Voices of the
Children. Look for the butterflies and read their messages.
• The Working Studios is one of the most active areas of the
Festival with a range of artists demonstrating the creative
process. Come see prominent artist Alfred Currier painting
the twelfth and final mural in the Tommy Thompson Mural
Project, featuring the colorful Skagit landscape. A special
feature this year will be graffiti, being painted by artists Eric
Gonzalez and Leo Salazar.
• Back by popular demand are Nearly Dan on the Manieri Jazz Stage and Chance McKinney
and John Van Deusen on the Main Stage. With more than 40 acts on three stages, including
a number of new-to-the-festival groups, we are sure that you will find some music that will
entertain you.
• In addition to the tasty food faire found in our Food Court at 3rd & Commercial, be sure to visit
our Food Truck Alley on 8th Street. Trucks on either side of the main drag will have your
taste buds watering with their trendy cuisine.
• We invite you to step up on the sidewalk and visit our local restaurants and retail shops. Our
downtown merchants are ready to welcome you into their businesses like an old friend. The
Anacortes community loves the Festival and they can’t wait to see you!

• We love the image this year that has inspired
our Peace, Love and Art tagline! It’s a piece
by artist Barton DeGraff and is certain to bring
smile to so many faces. You can Buy a Shirt
or Poster at the Information Booth on 5th &
Commercial.
With the support that you offer through purchases
and donations this weekend, the Anacortes Arts
Festival is able to give back to creative programs
year-round in our community. With more than
$65,000 gifted this year to art organizations, youth
art programs, art in schools, public art, and artists, we
feel genuinely grateful to be a part of your weekend.
Thank you again for celebrating a little Peace, Love
and Art with us. We are so glad you are here.
Peace,

goanacortes.com 2019 Anacortes Arts Festival 17Arts at the Port
Allen Family Focus Gallery
This year’s theme “Pattern & Structure” welcomes three talented artists to the Allen Family Focus
Gallery. Participants include Cathy Schoenberg from Anacortes, Jill Nordfors Clark from Seattle and
Charissa Brock from Portland. This Gallery is selected and curated by the Festival Curatorial Team.
Cathy Schoenberg is deeply rooted in the nature, wildlife and
people in Skagit Valley.
Her paintings depict wild, weedy areas meant to make one feel
engulfed by seemingly unkempt nature, while her drawings take on
a sense of the outer universe and/or the inner molecular world we
can’t see with the naked eye.
Jill Nordfors Clark uses
hog gut as the basis of her
work (also known as sausage
casings). She combines it
with needle lace (a form of
embroidery used in making lace
with a needle and thread) to
make three-dimensional forms.
Her latest work incorporates
Schoenberg photographs, drawings, bones,
and vintage lace.
Nordfors Clark
Charissa Brock is a fiber artist working with bamboo, a giant
grass that has been used for centuries to create baskets and other Brock
everyday objects. She integrates wood, glass, paper and thread as
visual accents and structural components. Her abstract sculptures
are crafted using basketry, woodworking, and fiber art techniques.

18 2019 Anacortes Arts Festival goanacortes.comArts at the Port – Special Installations
T he Festival is taking a new approach to our Youth Artist exhibit this year by including Voices
of the Children as our youth arts partner. Voices of the Children instructors organized a day of
poetry, writing, film, and clay-making projects with girls ages 12 – 18, from Skagit County and Syria.
The topics of discussion were womens’ challenges in our local and global society. The resulting art
installation is made up of individual ceramic butterflies – each one a colorful representation of hope,
greeting folks as they enter Arts at the Port.
S ay Their Names…the Anacortes
Regeneration Project is an artist
driven response to the phenomenon of mass
shootings in America. Thirty Skagit Valley
artists have created over 970 individual
ceramic rocks, each displaying the name,
event, date and age of an individual killed
in 84 mass shootings in America. The
rocks are being assembled into a large
Cairn installation. Also included is a video
that incorporates writing from students
and adults who have been affected by gun
violence.
