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.

Info about the upcoming Salmon Bake (in case you were wondering about the food)...

SKA members will be setting up an Artists Alley* on Sunday, June 21 (Father's Day) in Manchester at their annual salmon bake. This will be our first year at this popular public event. And spaces will also be available to non-SKA members

We'll have a designated space on the grass at the park. Kitty-corner from the park is the public library. That's where all the salmon bake action is taking place.

We had so much fun at the the Mermaid art model/sketch event on Sunday! Aura The Mermaid (Aura Stiers) inspired our members with her colorful mermaid tail and a variety of inspired poses. A big thanks to Samantha and staff at Gathered by Josephine's. What a beautiful space there. If you are in downtown Port Orchard, you must check it out. :)
