Months ago, we asked a number of accomplished local artists to submit pieces that refl ected their personal interpretation of some facet of local history. As a result, we are delighted to present this

exhibit with over 75 original works rendered in paint, glass, bronze, neon, photography and multi-media, revealing the wide variety of interesting, amusing and surprising responses that our history can inspire.

We invite you to enjoy this unique exhibit and perhaps share your own interpretation of the history of this beautiful place called Skagit.
