About the organization
The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center (PAFAC) is a nonprofit arts organization located in Port Angeles, Washington, with a mission to enrich the community through diverse and engaging art experiences. Founded in 1985, PAFAC operates from the historic Webster House and the adjacent Webster's Woods Art Park, a unique outdoor sculpture park that integrates art with the natural landscape. The center is dedicated to showcasing contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on artists from the Pacific Northwest and beyond, fostering a dialogue between art and the environment. PAFAC's core ethos revolves around accessibility, experimentation, and community engagement. It provides a platform for both emerging and established artists to present work that often responds to the site's natural surroundings. Through exhibitions, educational programs, and public events, PAFAC encourages visitors to explore the intersections of art, nature, and place.
Programs & opportunities

Artists interested in exhibiting at PAFAC should first review the center's exhibition history and program focus to ensure alignment with its mission. PAFAC often issues calls for specific projects, such as the Wintertide Light Art Experience, which may have thematic or medium-specific requirements. Proposals should demonstrate thoughtful engagement with the site, whether indoors at Webster House or outdoors in Webster's Woods. Given the center's emphasis on community and accessibility, artists should articulate how their work might resonate with diverse audiences. It is advisable to contact PAFAC staff directly for current opportunities and submission guidelines, as these may vary by program.
