Ides of February News from JCHS FEBRUARY 15, 2023 <https://jchsmuseum.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=11155357fd6e7ba31f3d5bf11&id=f1bb215680&e=70d6482893> The Jefferson Museum reopens in March with three new exhibitions! Featured artwork: Stephen Yates, Path/Signal, 2012 New Exhibitions at the Museum From the abstract to the realistic, Landscapes: Real & Imagined focuses on Joan Jonland, Stephen Yates, and Thomas Wilson (1931 - 2015)—three painters who have lived and worked in Port Townsend for the majority of their lives as artists. Each artist's reverence for our natural environment emerges in their unique approach, creating art that inspires and challenges us to see the land differently. This exhibition features additional works from the JCHS permanent collection and select pieces from local collectors. Many pieces in this exhibition have never been publicly displayed. Landscapes will be on view in the Ferguson Gallery through August 6 and two exhibitions will be opening alongside it at the Jefferson Museum on Thursday, March 2. Come see paintings of land and seascapes by Jesse Watson in our classroom and an exhibition featuring now-and-then images by PTHS photography students in our Community Gallery downstairs. All are welcome to join us Saturday, March 4 for free admission all day at the museum and an artists' reception for our new exhibitions from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
