San Juan Islands Museum of Art

Three exceptional exhibitions will fill the San Juan Islands Museum of Art’s galleries this summer. Convergence & Divergence: The Family Aesthetic. For the first time, the work of renowned photographers Imogen Cunningham and her son Rondal Partridge will be shown with her husband and acclaimed etcher Roi Partridge. This ground-breaking exhibition explores how artistic vision is passed through generations, and how these artists shaped and responded to their times while pursuing their art. Fluid Life—Glass Sculptures Inspired by the Sea.  Influenced by his San Juan Islands surroundings, the luminous work of international glass artist Raven Skyriver recreates the essence of aquatic life by mimicking the movement and fluidity that define creatures in water. Feathered Masterpieces. Chris Maynard carves feathers into intricate art—cutting them into detailed shapes and arranging the cutouts into scenes that celebrate the life and flight of birds. Each piece changes with the intensity and angle of light, highlighting the patterns and colors of the feathers, inviting the viewer to look and look again.
