South Kitsap Artists

South Kitsap Artists SKA is a collective group of Fine Artists in the South Kitsap area The 50th anniversary of the South Kitsap Artists Association was held in 2011.

The group started in 1961 when a number of Port Orchard women began getting together in their homes. Today, the South Kitsap Artists Association is a collective group of fine artists who meet at the Sidney Art Gallery on the 4th Monday each month at 7:00 p.m. to share in work accomplishments, demonstrations, event planning, socializing and networking for educational and marketing purposes. The med

iums that are represented include soft pastels, charcoal and conte, oil pastels, acrylics, mixed media, watercolors and oils. Membership consists of both professional fine artists and those who paint as a hobby. SKAA members have a group wall at the Sidney Art Gallery to exhibit all year. They participate in local art walks, paint outs, open studios, classes and pot lucks. In October each year, the group hosts a juried members exhibition at the Sidney Gallery.

ARTIST ALLEY UPDATES:

Port Gamble on Saturday, Aug 8
Plein Air at Red Roof Ranch on Sunday Aug 9th

***To register, please text Jennifer Hovik at 206-459-4868 as soon as possible. She’ll take the information regarding space, tent, tables and chairs.***

Details for Port Gamble attendees:

On Saturday, Aug 8th, Artist Alley is at Port Gamble Maritime Festival. Because of the distance, it will be one day only. Sales have been excellent in the past.
This event takes a minimum of 8 artists. (We have 5 - 6 already.)

Space is $25, renting a tent is an additional $25. Tents will start at 7:00 am on the gravel park at the bluff. Artist can arrive between 7:30 am and 9 am. Traffic will be worse the later you arrive, so earlier is better for you.

Once you unload at the park, we will direct you to the parking area. Festival opens at 10 am, tear down at 6 pm. It will be difficult to leave any earlier as the concert ends at 5 pm, but it’s up to you.

Details for Plein-Air at Red Roof Ranch:

For Sunday, Aug 9th only, we are inviting members to have a plein-air experience under the big tent.

This is a very relaxed event and FREE. We will use the tent that exists in the lower level with their tables & chairs. Just bring your painting setup. You are welcome to bring art cards or small things for sale. (You can still bring your own tent if desired and set up full shop. We just won’t have the staff to help you set up.) Food & drink vendors will be present at the event.

Cars can deliver to the lower level before 9:15 am. Otherwise, walk yourself down to the lower field to paint the multitudes of garden features and stay as long as you like. Final shut down may be around 5 pm. Enjoy lunch at one of the food vendors present!

***To register, please text Jennifer Hovik at 206-459-4868 as soon as possible. She’ll take the information regarding space, tent, tables and chairs.***
