SUMMARY:June 6 and 7: San Juan Island Artists Studio Tour
DESCRIPTION:The San Juan Island Artists’ Studio Tour is a free\, self-guided tour celebrating the island’s robust artist community. Always the first full weekend in June\, the Studio Tour takes attendees on an adventure\, leading them off the beaten tourist path\, weaving through back roads to remote pockets of the island. While visitors will surely come across the many popular island destinations along the way\, the Studio Tour offers a rare opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the island\, discover the artwork it inspires and meet the artists behind the art.  \n\n\n\nThe Studio Tour is the perfect way to experience all the island has to offer before the peak summer season begins. Artist studios are often unique and quirky\, ranging from small home studios to large shared\, coworking spaces and everything in between – small outbuildings\, outdoor kilns\, large historic barns and repurposed industrial spaces that provide communal access to tools and equipment. Many host studios will also feature guest artists\, offering a rare opportunity to experience multiple artistic voices at the same time.  \n\n\n\nFounded in 1991\, the studio tour was created by island artists who wanted to open their studios for one special weekend each year – offering the public glimpses into their workspaces and artistic lives to connect with the creative process firsthand. In late 2024\, the artists officially formed San Juan Island Artists\, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. While the Studio Tour remains our primary focus\, this milestone supports the continued growth and future impact of the island’s artistic community. \n\n\n\nThis year the tour features 68 participating island artists & 26 Studio stops on the map\, making it one of the most extensive tours to date! With the depth and diversity of artists on this year’s tour\, we encourage visitors to make it a full two-day experience.  \n\n\n\nTo learn more about this year’s tour\, be sure to check out our Tour Guidebook  – Click here for a digital version or grab a printed version around town!

SUMMARY:June 9: Eelgrass Restoration through Youth Conservation
DESCRIPTION:June 9 | 6 pm | The Whale Museum | Friday Harbor \n\n\n\nThe Whale Museum is excited to kick off its 2026 Summer Lecture Series lineup with the lecture “Eelgrass Restoration through Youth Conservation” given by Mike Rosekrans and Sage Enright with the Youth Conservation Corps. This free presentation is scheduled for 6 PM on June 9 in-person at The Whale Museum and streaming on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/live/dEL7qcNzrO4 \n\n\n\nEelgrass plays a vital role in the Salish Sea providing critical species habitat\, preventing coastal erosion\, improving water quality\, and contributing to shellfish and human health by reducing pathogens in seawater. While the San Juan Islands historically had robust eelgrass meadows\, the islands have recently experienced alarming local declines\, with near-total losses in some areas. the San Juan Islands Conservation District (SJICD) YCC programs leads seed-based eelgrass restoration efforts\, which focus on collecting eelgrass seeds from natural meadows and planting them in priority restoration sites. Learn about the efforts our YCC crew members are engaged with and how our local youth are contributing to a healthier marine ecosystem. \n\n\n\nMike joined the District in the Spring of 2023 as the Youth Conservation Corps Program Co-Coordinator. Mike has spent his career engaging youth in environmental education programs\, developing curriculum for educational institutions\, and mentoring aspiring outdoor leaders and educators. Mike earned his M.Ed from Western Washington University in partnership with North Cascades Institute in 2016 with a focus on nonprofit administration and environmental education. \n\n\n\nSage joined the District as Eelgrass Project Assistant after serving on the Islands Conservation Corps (ICC) since 2022. They hold a B.S. degree in Geology and a minor in Computer Science from Western Washington University where they are working toward a M.A. in Environmental Studies. With hands on experience in land-based restoration through ICC\, and marine research and restoration experience in partnership with University of Washington Friday Harbor Labs\, Sage is captivated by\, and committed to\, local conservation efforts. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of The Whale Museum’s Summer Lecture Series\, a series of talks throughout the summer! Everyone is welcome and all of these presentations are free to attend!

SUMMARY:June 11: Opening of SJIMA  Summer 2026 Exhibitions including photography\, etching\, glass sculpture and feather sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Raven Skyriver_Gyre_glass 19x24x12 \n\n\n\nThree exceptional exhibitions will fill the San Juan Islands Museum of Art’s galleries June 11\, 2026 – September 14\, 2026 this summer\, featuring renowned artists whose work is focused on the natural and cultural environments of Washington State and beyond. Photography\, etching\, glass sculpture and feather sculpture will be showcased. The Museum is located at 540 Spring Street\, Friday Harbor\, www.SJIMA.org. Open Thursdays through Mondays 11-5. Docent tours are available by prior reservation. \n\n\n\nConvergence & Divergence: The Family Aesthetic (in the Nichols Gallery) \n\n\n\nGlacier 1939-1941- Roi Partridge \n\n\n\nTwo Parents\, One Son. A Century of Vision. \n\n\n\nFor the first time\, the work of Imogen Cunningham\, Roi Partridge\, and Rondal Partridge will be shown together in Convergence and Divergence: The Family Aesthetic. This exhibition explores how artistic vision is passed through generations\, highlighting how three family members shaped and responded to their times while pursuing their art.  \n\n\n\nMagnolia Blossom- 1925 by Imogen Cunningham\n\n\n\nA Family of Artists \n\n\n\nPave It and Paint It Green\, Yosemite National Park\, circa 1965 by Rondal Partridge\n\n\n\nImogen Cunningham (1883-1976)\, was a pioneer of American modernist photography and founding member of Group f/64\, the 1930s collective of West Coast Photographers. Known for her iconic botanical images and portraits of artists. She captured stunning images of Frida Kahlo\, Ansel Adams\, Edward Weston and many others. \n\n\n\nRoi Partridge (1888-1984)\, Imogen’s husband\, became a renowned etcher\, who taught at Mills College\, and never stopped documenting his vanishing and cherished California landscapes. \n\n\n\nRondal Partridge (1917-2015) Imogen and Roi’s son\, learned from masters like Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams\, ultimately spending eight decades photographing people\, nature\, and social change. \n\n\n\nA Retrospective Spanning Over 100 Years \n\n\n\nWith nearly 110 years of combined work\, this exhibition features masterworks and rare pieces\, illuminating how these artists both collaborated and forged their own paths. \n\n\n\nFeaturing over 100 photographs and prints from the remarkably long careers of these artists\, the work is curated from their personal archives. This groundbreaking exhibition tells an intimate story: how artistic vision travels across generations\, how family members see the same world with different eyes and how three artists kept their creative spark alive while making a living as artists. Their shared devotion to nature\, mastery of light\, and commitment to experimentation is evident throughout the thematic collections. \n\n\n\nHighlights \n\n\n\n\nImogen Cunningham’s magnolia and portraits\n\n\n\nRoi Partridge’s plein-air etchings\n\n\n\nRondal Partridge’s environmental and botanical photography\n\n\n\nContrasting methods on shared themes\n\n\n\nTechnical and artistic innovation\n\n\n\nDocumentary films by Lopez Island resident Meg Partridge (daughter of Rondal Partridge) on Imogen Cunningham and Rondal Partridge will run in the Museum concurrently during the exhibition.\n\n\n\n\nFeathered Masterpieces: The Artistry of Chris Maynard  (in the North Gallery) \n\n\n\nChris Maynard_Raven Spins the World_great argus feather_13x21\n\n\n\nBirds have always played a significant role in Chris Maynard’s life. Growing up in Washington State\, he found peace and solitude in the woods near his home\, observing birds as he lay in the moss beneath towering fir and cedar trees. At the age of twelve\, receiving an exotic feather sparked his interest in using feathers as a medium for his creative expression and launched his lifelong passion for transforming them into art. \n\n\n\nChris Maynard_Piercing the Veil feather 18×12\n\n\n\nProcess and Philosophy \n\n\n\nToday\, 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. Maynard states\, “I don’t trim or flatten the feathers but keep their natural curves and shapes by elevating them from the background. By honoring the feathers in this way\, I feel they have reciprocated by enhancing my work with their shadows. So\, each piece changes according to the intensity and angle of the light that shines on it. My work highlights the patterns and colors of the feathers themselves\, inviting the viewer to look and look again.” \n\n\n\nEthical Sourcing and Presentation \n\n\n\nFeathers from a variety of birds—including turkeys\, parrots\, and peacocks—are used to create scenes displayed in Maynard’s acclaimed shadow boxes. A conservationist at heart\, his feathers are legally sourced. Many of the feathers are naturally shed\, obtained from farms\, aviaries and zoos. \n\n\n\nSymbolism and Impact \n\n\n\nFeathers are universal symbols of flight\, transformation\, achievement\, and hope. Maynard’s artwork resonates with those who aspire to these qualities and with bird lovers alike. \n\n\n\nSelected Press and Appearances \n\n\n\nChris’s work has been featured in dozens of museums\, fine art galleries; national and international publications\, as well as broadcast TV\, including PBS Craft in America\, National Geographic Magazine\, Western Art & Architecture\, Southwest Art Magazine\, Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine\, Audubon\, the Daily Mail\, UK; The Discovery Channel—Daily Planet\, and a Tedx Talk. \n\n\n\nRaven Skyriver: Fluid Life—Glass Sculptures Inspired by the Sea (in the Atrium Gallery) \n\n\n\nRaven Skyriver  Singletary_Cuts through water \n\n\n\nThe luminous work of international glass artist Raven Skyriver began at age 16. Growing up on Lopez Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington state\, he draws inspiration from his natural surroundings\, shaping a body of work that is almost entirely rooted in the marine ecosystem. \n\n\n\nArtistic Process and Purpose\n\n\n\nSkyriver explains\, “I focus on recreating the essence of aquatic life by mimicking the movement and fluidity that define creatures in water. The transformation from molten material to finished piece allows me to capture the sensation of a fish or whale gliding effortlessly through its natural habitat.” Working in glass also allows him to reflect the transparency and translucency found in the marine world. \n\n\n\nFrom seashells to squid\, Raven’s work enhances viewers’ understanding of marine inhabitants. Through his art\, he encourages people to pay attention to the delicate balance of nature—an equilibrium that is often overlooked or taken for granted. \n\n\n\nTraining and Artistic Development\n\n\n\nBorn in 1982\, Raven was mentored by Lark Dalton\, who taught him how to build glass-blowing equipment and trained him in the traditional Venetian technique. He attended Pilchuck Glass School and continued his mentorship from renowned glass artists\, such as Lino Tagliapietra. In 2003\, Raven joined the William Morris team\, working with them until Morris’s retirement in 2007. This pivotal experience solidified his commitment to glass sculpting and teaching as his life’s work. \n\n\n\nInternational Recognition\n\n\n\nSince then\, Raven has established his own glass studio and traveled extensively—from Japan to Norway\, Italy\, Denmark\, and Turkey—where he teaches\, gives demonstrations\, and continues to develop his artistry as an artist in residence. His glass sculptures have been showcased internationally in both solo and group exhibitions\, earning him worldwide recognition.

SUMMARY:June 11: Apocalyptic Mayhem\, Lava-Spitting Llamas\, and One Very Sassy Cat: Surviving the Universe’s Most Twisted RPG with Matt Dinniman - VIRTUAL
DESCRIPTION:New York Times Bestselling Author and Literary Dungeon Master \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\nHold onto your heart-patterned boxers! Matt Dinniman\, New York Times bestselling author of the wildly popular (and just plain wild) Dungeon Crawler Carl series\, joins us to chat about his latest book\, A Parade of Horribles.  \n\n\n\nAs chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars\, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor\, where they’re forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well\, normal for the dungeon. \n\n\n\nRaces. Get from point A to point B\, and don’t come in last. After each race\, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal\, a little too simple. \n\n\n\nIgnore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to those whispers about what’s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor\, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody\, not even the showrunners\, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it “a coming-out party for the ages.” \n\n\n\nEverything is fine\, Crawler. I repeat\, everything is fine. \n\n\n\nCarl hates that it’s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do. \n\n\n\nSo Carl is planning a party of his own. It’s a plan so dangerous\, so insane\, he can’t even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong\, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been. \n\n\n\nRegister now for a fun-filled discussion you won’t want to miss! \n\n\n\nAbout the Author: \n\n\n\nMatt Dinniman is a writer and artist from Gig Harbor\, Washington. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series along with several other books about the end of the world.  \n\n\n\nHe doesn’t really hate Cocker Spaniels\, and he plays bass in one band.
