PAL will hold its annual Christmas Lunch at noon on Wednesday, December 9. We do not meet for our regular Wednesday meetings during December.

Please bring framed paintings and framed prints to hang at Christa Shores. Small to medium works best for this venue but there is room for some larger pieces.

Would you like to connect with other artists? Here’s your invitation to our Thursday, November 19th, Speakeasy Social Hour from 5-6 at the Treehouse Cafe in Lynnwood Center on Bainbridge Island. Bring a work sample or a picture of your art so we can get acquainted. The more media and genres the better!

Contact for questions or the RSVP: poulsboartistsleague@gmail.com

For our Third Wednesday program on October 21, Artist Marcy Lynn showed us how she creates cyanotypes, a way of capturing natural object like ferns, flowers, and weeds on photographic paper. After exposure to the sun, the image remains, revealing the character of the plant.

The annual meeting for Poulsbo Artist League will be at 1:00 pm, Wednesday, October 7. at Vinland Lutheran Church. We will hear reports, review the budget, elect officers, and plan for the coming year. There will be no potluck this year.

PAL artists painted the beautiful scenery of Seabeck and Hood Canal.

All PAL artists have an opportunity to display their artwork for this three-day art festival. Valerie West and PAF committee members will be coordinating the receipt and recording of the artwork.

Val will plan the grid-panel layout and asks that each artist’s artwork be no larger than 16” x 20”. Depending on how many artists submit large pieces, you may be able to include only one large piece in the show.

Accepted Artwork:

All mediums are welcome for this festival.

Artwork dimensions 16” x 20” max. portrait layout, or smaller.

The number of artists that participate in the festival will help determine how many pieces of artwork can be displayed on the grid panels.

Display requirements:

• Art must be gallery-ready condition and each piece must be labeled.
• All mounting systems must be strong enough to support the weight of the artwork.
• For 2D artwork on canvases, artwork should be gallery wrapped or framed.
• Each piece of work should be clearly labeled with the artist’s name, title of work, medium and price.  (see PAL Art Festival 2026 Sales Tax Chart)
