Local artist Cassie Martin is the winner of our 40th Anniversary Poster Contest! Cassie created the winning piece using vintage colors from 40 years ago, incorporating elements that depict the different art mediums the school offers and infusing a retro yet fresh feel to the poster. We are delighted to use Cassie’s artwork to celebrate our art of turning 40 event. Cassie’s poster design has left space for us to add the words and descriptions we want. What a great partnership.

About the Pacific NorthWest Art School: As we turn 40 this year, we are proud to state we have been making high caliber art instruction available to our local community and those who travel from all over the United States and Canada for four decades! That’s quite an accomplishment for a mighty staff of two. We offer 60-70 workshops per year, a Plein Air Paint Out Competition and Celebration, jail art instruction, free art library, book club, art cupboard and camera club in addition to our classes. Additionally, we serve as the Administrator for the Coupeville Creative District. Come support and celebrate as for the next 40 years and beyond this November 6th! We are proud to continue with the important work our founders identified some 40 years ago.
