back to things to do
The islands are both rich in art. The natural beauty and serenity make the perfect haven for painters, sculptors, glass blowers, writers, and performing artists. Dozens of open studios and tours are available year-round where visitors can enjoy the works of internationally known artists.

Classes are on-going and open to visitors. In February, the annual Writers Conference brings hundreds of writers and publishers together, where writing classes and inspiration abound.

At the Whidbey Island Center for Arts and Whidbey Playhouse, frequent workshops and classes include acting, make up and stage management.

Coupeville Arts Center holds classes and workshops on textiles and painting, drawing from the natural surroundings.
