Orcas Center is the place where magic happens! It is where islanders and visiting artists can explore their creative passions, hone their skills, and demonstrate their talents. And all of us, locals and visitors alike, get to experience both the visual and performing arts! None of this could happen without the support of Orcas Island businesses and the community at large.
Last week, Orcas Center held their annual fundraising Gala, with many businesses and individuals donating services and/or auction items that received much attention and appreciation from those attending!
