On Sunday, June 27, the Visual Arts Committee at Orcas Center will present a special program that touches on a broad spectrum of the visual, poetic and performing arts.

“If you have ever wondered how bronze sculptures are molded and then cast, or if you have had a hankering to explore the mysteries of oil painting, poetry, music or dance, your curiosity will be rewarded,” organizers say. “‘Embracing the Arts’ is a unique event celebrating the heart of art, music, dance and poetry on Orcas, featuring live performances by local and guest artists.”

As you step through the lobby doors at Orcas Center, you will be surrounded by images of Jan Madill’s colorful abstract paintings as you wend your way through the bronze sculpture garden of Mary Ellen Hogle’s figures and shapes.

Beginning at 4 p.m. in the Madrona Room, the program will spotlight poetry readings by poets Jill McCabe Johnson and Jennifer Brennock, classical music selections by the Bodalo Trio, followed by Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo and Nancy Wang of ETH-NOH-TEC, San Francisco-based choreographers who have created an new blend of kinetic storytelling and physical theater.

At the conclusion of these informal presentations, there will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions and engage in an interactive dialogue with the performers. Also on display in the Madrona Room is this month’s selection of “On and Off the Wall” paintings and photographs by community artists.

A reception follows the hour-long program. Admission is free of charge or by donation.
