Valentine’s Day Reception

Saturday, February 14, 5–7 PM

Free and open to the public

This special reception is a relaxed and welcoming gathering in the heart of the museum. Guests are invited to enjoy light bites and wine while exploring all three galleries filled with artwork from the 2025–26 Artists’ Registry Show.

There are no tickets, no RSVP, and no museum membership required—simply come as you are and celebrate Valentine’s Day surrounded by creativity.

Whether you’re sharing the evening with a partner, friends, family, or enjoying a solo visit, the reception offers a warm and festive way to experience the depth and diversity of our island arts community.

About the 2025–26 Artists’ Registry Show

On view through February 23, the annual Artists’ Registry Show fills the Nichols, North, and Atrium Galleries with work by 114 San Juan County artists. Featuring more than 100 emerging and established artists, the exhibition represents nearly every corner of the visual arts.

Visitors will encounter sculpture, textiles, painting, glass, woodwork, printmaking, pastels, photography, metalwork, drawing, encaustic, pottery, mixed media, assemblage, digital art, jewelry, and more. Together, the works create a sweeping panorama of styles, materials, and perspectives—reflecting the innovation, skill, and heart of our island community.

Each winter, the Artists’ Registry Show offers one of the most comprehensive surveys of local artistic talent in the region. It is a celebration not only of individual artists, but of the vibrant creative culture that defines San Juan County.

Only Two Weekends Remain

With the exhibition wrapping on February 23, only two weekends remain to explore this remarkable display of artwork from across the San Juan Islands.

The annual Valentine’s Day Reception is a perfect opportunity to visit before the show closes. Spend the evening enjoying conversation, refreshments, and the extraordinary range of artwork on view throughout the museum.

Join us this weekend for the Valentine’s Day Reception and experience the 2025–26 Artists’ Registry Show before it concludes.
