The art auction will include pieces by the late Anne Goetzman and several pieces from the center’s collection of Esther Webster’s work.

The fundraiser will benefit the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, which operates a donation-based art gallery, maintains Webster’s
Woods Sculpture Park and offers year-round programs for all ages.

“Last year through our programs, we engaged nearly 8,000 people in visual arts and humanities activities and supported more than 400 artists of all ages in exhibiting and selling their work through the gallery, gift store, Wintertide Makers Market and park,” said Christine Loewe the center’s executive director. “We additionally welcomed 30,000 visits to the Sculpture Park.

“None of our work is possible without the sustained support of our generous community of donors, grantors, sponsors, volunteers and event attendees. With that, we are excited to offer the second annual Elevated Evening, bringing dedicated art advocates together for an evening in celebration of art and generosity.”
