"I think the cultural exchange between artists in residence and our local community is one of the most exciting programs at Alchemy Art Center. AIRs get to experience the beauty and inspiration that is San Juan Island, while our community benefits from fresh perspectives and new energy."
Alchemy Art Center is committed to providing arts programming to all residents of San Juan Island, and creating connection between islanders, particularly youth, and visiting artists.
