ArtSpring is proud to present its first international visual art exhibition, Archipelago: Contemporary Art of the Salish Sea as part of a unique and important cultural exchange between two of North America’s most feted arts communities – the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia and the San Juan Islands of Washington State.

For this celebration of artistic life surrounding the Salish Sea, artists and their bodies of work will be moving between the islands. ArtSpring is thrilled to host and present six of the finest visual artists working in the San Juan Islands, exhibiting in Canada for the first time.
