Anacortes Arts at the Port

The annual Juried Fine Art Exhibition, Arts at the Port, is the crown jewel of the Anacortes Arts Festival. The show runs July 30 - August 7, 2022. The mission of this exhibition is to showcase regional fine art to the Festival audience (estimated at 90,000). The exhibition shows 1 – 5 pieces from selected artists, working in both 2D and 3D.
