Very small museum. There is bunch of information in there that you could read on Wikipedia. There were bones belonging to some whales and other sea animals, this was good. The ticket was definitely overpriced. I would have happily considered it a donation to the museum if they had put in decent effort in to showing what kind of research they do but they didn't.

This is a small museum with a $10 admission price. About half professional, half amateur works on exhibit Jan. 14, 2022, when we visited. I thought the building itself was more interesting than some of the art. Like many businesses in Friday harbor; only open on the weekend.

Cool expo! African tribal exhibit when we visited was really cool. Also had the Pink Pew exhibit - look it up.

This was our first visit. They had a nice little touring and local Vietnam war exhibit. The $10 admission price was reasonable for the size of the exhibit, factoring in that everything on the island is more expensive than the mainland. I really appreciated that Veterans were honored with free entry. I look forward to our next visit.

Questions & Answers

I was surprised to find no opportunities for artists on the island. Does anyone know of any galleries or art fairs going on that actually answer emails and are always looking for new and exiting artwork?

Hi Grady - The SJIMA Artists' Registry runs December - February each year. If you would like more information about the Artists' Registry, please visit the below website address for additional details. You may also want to check the San Juan Islands Chamber of Commerce for commercial artists and studios in the islands. www.sjima.org/sjima-artists-registry/

Does anybody know how a 2 year Friday Harbor resident artist can get involved, as in opportunities to display my artwork? I can't seem to find info anywhere. Thanks.
