But wait – did I mention the Olympic Driftwood Sculptors 5th Anniversary Art Show?

The Olympic Driftwood Sculptors have gotten in the habit of holding a Driftwood Art Show in conjunction with the Dungeness River Festival every year – and boy, are we glad! The Driftwood Art Show features sculptures by many artists, including “Aquarium,” a display of marine-related pieces.
Artists will be demonstrating their talents by working on pieces throughout the two days of the show. Revealing their artistic process, they’ll field any related questions you might have.
The Driftwood Boutique will be offering various driftwood accessories for sale and attendees of the show will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a driftwood scuplture.
