Volunteer Vern Pavilion at Sehmel Homestead Park
Our Summer Members’ Show promises to be a seasonal celebration of the unmatched creativity of a vibrant mix of artists working in a wide range of mediums who make up the Peninsula Art League. Exhibited inside the Volunteer Vern Pavilion, this dedicated Member Show will be a major highlight of the 40th Summer Art Festival, showcasing our Members’ indoor exhibition in addition to 100+ regional community booth artists.
This year our juror is Christine Buchanan, a renowned Gig Harbor sculptor and Fine Arts Department Chair at Peninsula High School. Christine’s unique perspective is deeply rooted in visual storytelling and a profound connection to the natural world.
Here is a chance to step inside the pavilion to discover a beautifully curated collection that represents the heart and soul of our league.
Christine has been at Peninsula High School for more than 30 years as an instructor of Sculpture, Pottery, Warm and Cold Glass, and Printmaking. She is also the Chair of The Fine and Performing Arts Department of Peninsula High School.
She graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and received her Masters at Lesley University in Teaching Through the Arts.
Her art has been in many exhibitions and private art collections.
