Along with the work of Jonland, Yates, and Wilson, this exhibition features many selections from our permanent collection and local collectors that have never been publicly displayed. Landscapes opens this week and will be on view in the Ferguson Gallery through August 6. All are invited to join us this 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! <https://jchsmuseum.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=11155357fd6e7ba31f3d5bf11&id=ce64d9f42d&e=70d6482893> Now & Then Returns! We are delighted to once again share an exhibition of now-and-then images by PTHS photography students in our Community Gallery. Referencing historic images from JCHS's collection, students in David Egeler’s Photography and Advanced Media classes returned to places where historic images were taken to recreate the framing and angle of view in the present day. The resulting photo essays in this year’s Now & Then exhibition are on view at the Jefferson Museum through the end of March. <https://jchsmuseum.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=11155357fd6e7ba31f3d5bf11&id=e0eed39981&e=70d6482893> Land & Seascapes by Jesse Watson Local artist Jesse Watson <https://jchsmuseum.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=11155357fd6e7ba31f3d5bf11&id=c4db8974fa&e=70d6482893> 's artwork often reflects his passions—drawing on themes of social justice, diversity, humanity, as well as environmental beauty and conservation. His work has appeared in many places and publications, but you may recognize it from some of the cafes, pubs, and galleries right here in Port Townsend. We're thrilled to present a selection of Jesse's land and seascape paintings, which will be on view in our classroom through the end of April.
