EMERGE: MaRCH 1 - APRIL 30, 2023
GalleryW presents a two-month show in March and April, centered around the theme of emergence. Coinciding with the return of guests to Skagit Valley to witness the beauty of early spring, we want to put on a show that examines the deeper workings of our own emergence as artists and makers. To support that vision, we will be showing work that pushed us into new territory as artists and humans. This invitational exhibit will be an exciting and diverse show like none you've seen before in Skagit County!
