One of my favorite art centers. Small with dynamic choices in exhibits plus you can wander around Webster Woods when youre done.

Highly recommend for all ages. Some places are more difficult to walk than others so shoes are preferable but it is amazing and like no park Ive ever seen. Pay close attention to ALL of the trees, I see new things in different places constantly, it is a great place for picnics and sunsets too.

I changed my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars. The vandalism has completely wreaked the art park, the only art left is broken or so severely damaged that the art has been left in overgrown piles in the woods. I love the art park and I still enjoy going there often, it just seems like nobody cares about the art park anymore.

The museum was closed changing exhibits but we had a great time just walking around Websters Woods. Really cool seeing what was around the next corner... Even in the rain!!

The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center is a small town cultural gem. They offer serious art exhibits and community events. My family loves the Websters Woods sculpture park. It is so peaceful and beautiful. We brought toddlers learning to walk in the fall and now we love enjoying the Shakespeare in the Park under the Pi sculpture.

Great park to see community art in a forest. The building is usually closed unless they are having an event, but the exterior is worth checking out due to its unique architecture. Shakespeare in the Park is performed in the meadow annually in July/August. It is an awesome event!

I was impressed with the premises center for the arts building. Excellent staging Director and staff. Nice location plenty of parking, clean, there is view to kill from different angels of the premises. I love the concept of parents being very involved with their children. I have just attended the Recital, but overall I was very impressed with all the services and hosting provided I felt a sensing of a welcoming community.

Nice park setting for a quick view or to walk the dog (on leash). Gallery usually closed.

Great fun, intriguing, surprising, sometimes fanciful, sometimes very simple... definitely worth a visit. The view north, from the edge of the property is awesome. And we didnt even go inside, since there was a wedding setting up.

Such a great place. We loved the outdoor art. Walk the trails and find art around each bend. We were able to go for their Summer Solstice celebration and it was great fun for the kids. Our granddaughter loved the hands on experiences.

Its a great place to have a casual day at the Museum and a better place to walk with kids or young teens thru the Art in the woods. It is great fun for them to explore and go on a Treasure Hunt and then take the time to talk about what it looks like, or means to them. (I was disappointed to see that vandals have destroyed some of the Art work and in places it has become overgrown, but the kids didnt notice)

Tiny...and barely anything to look at. The best part is the exterior art and Websters sculpture park.

Great art gallery in a beautiful midcentury modern building. My Dad, Mark Smoot, has a couple pieces of art there right now as part of their small things exhibit. Exciting! Happy to see him putting it out there.

Pros: free, beautiful view, walking trail is interesting and allows an interaction with natureCons: trail isnt marked well and a bit confusing, as well as very steep in small sections, but dont let that keep you from going

Have wanted to visit this center for a long time. Time being a factor, havent till Jan 14 2019 been able to go. However, our daughter Amber was %he new factor that Made us go. Had to pick her up from Port Angeles at Smugglers Landing. When we were unable to find her, called and she informed us she was at the Art Center walking in Sculpture Park. Played hide and seek Amber. What a Wonderful place and day.

We stopped here for a fiber art show and were very impressed with the gallery, the show, the midcentury residence in which its located, the grounds, and the art in the adjacent woods. All together a great place to check out if youre visiting Port Angeles.

Review №32

Its definitely worth stopping and walking through the park here if youre in the area. It basically consists of a couple winding trails that pass by a bunch of art projects. Pretty fun little detour.They also have a clearing where they occasionally hold events or plays in the park. Definitely feels more fun to be outside than your standard college auditorium play.

I love this place! The art is integrating into the natural environment and allowed to decay, making way for new art instillations. Since I dont live in the area anymore, I only visit every few years now, but its worth it every time! Great date option for people on a budget.

Small non-commercial art gallery, has a art walk the woods next to it. Nice place to visit. The gallery featured some really nice tapestrys last time i was there.

This is one of my favorite places in the entire world but I am very disappointed with the way things are right now there was a tree that blew over and fell and destroyed the Tree of Life a lot of the exhibits that were there have been removed and although it seems that some new exhibits have been added was disappointed with or saddened by some of the change but I guess just the way things go sometimes

The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center is a quirky outdoor exhibition space with some equally quirky outdoor art. Its worth a visit if youre already in town. As of the last week of December 2018 there was still some windfallen trees and damaged art.

A wonderful outdoor sculpture garden (free!) And rotating collections inside. All displayed in an architect-designed home on a hilltop, with stunning views of the Strait, Port Angeles, and Vancouver Island.

Port Angeles, Washington has a hidden gem in town.This public arts center is a must see.Very open and friendly, the volunteer staff is always ready to assist the visitor.The outdoor sculpture park, Webster Wood, is truly an enigma. The visitor will discover something new with every stroll through this amazing five acres of forest cradled at the top of the city.The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center is an amazing place and well worth a visit.

What I love most about this place with the fact that is your hiking along around Arts Center you come across some beautiful pieces of art that are just kind of woven into the natural landscape when you go into the main building there was an exhibit that you got to vote on for the best or your most favorite which I thought was really cool

This is an open/ outside wide trail. You get to view different art pieces through a lovely light canopy of trees and every few months or so there is a new topic.
