THE PORT ANGELES DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION WELCOMES YOU TO DOWNTOWN PORT ANGELES!
Are you looking for a downtown Port Angeles Business? Click here for the Port Angeles Downtown Association Directory! Port Angeles is home to the Olympics. We see them everyday and cater to their spectators. The Olympic Mountains and Olympic National Park are just "up the hill" and we can enjoy them from anywhere in town everyday. We have the most spectacular setting between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the mountain range where Nature is always visible. Come join us and experience the "other" Olympics. We'll be waiting... Port Angeles has a rich heritage, politically, militarily and economically. President Abraham Lincoln ordered a reservation of land here in 1862 for a lighthouse and military use. Later Port Angeles became a townsite reserve, and by Congressional act in March, 1863, Port Angeles was designated as America's Second National City, the alternative capital of the United States. Port Angeles found prosperity as a logging town, and as a natural deepwater port. At one time, it was the home of the Pacific Fleet. As the economic structure of the area changed, Port Angeles responded by expanding its tourism base as an international gateway for travelers to Vancouver island, British Columbia, and to the beautiful Olympic National Park. The sidewalks of downtown Port Angeles offer amazing views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Olympic National Park from anywhere in town. We are surrounded by miles of beautiful coastline, beaches and pristine forests. As you visit downtown enjoy the spectacular scenery, friendly people, delightful shops and wonderful restaurants. Port Angeles is an ideal place to live and work, and the perfect vacation destination. We look forward to your visit to Downtown Port Angeles and hope you enjoy your time with us.

SECOND WEEKEND EVENTS
Click image above for larger version of poster
.jpg "Art Rock")
ART ROCK—Port Angeles' monthly interactive celebration of music, art, and dancing (part of the Second Weekend Art Event)—welcomes everyone to Studio Bob (located upstairs at 118½ E Front Street) on Friday, February 12, 2010!
This month's ART ROCK event will feature a pre-Valentine’s Day “Sweetheart Sock-Hop." One of Port Angeles favorite bands—the BBR Trio + 1—will play their mix of classic rock, country, blues, and folk. This month’s event will also introduce Hazel Levine as artist-in-residence, displaying her marine-inspired tapestries and gently guiding party-goers in creating Valentine’s Day-inspired art pieces. And, to top off the celebration, Michael’s Seafood and Steakhouse will offer delicious food and beverages for purchase.
So, after visiting all the Port Angeles art galleries earlier in the evening, bring your Sweetheart to Studio Bob (or find a new one at the Sock-Hop!) for a drink, good music, and great times on Friday, February 12th, starting at 8:00pm. (There will be a nominal $3 cover charge at the door to support the artist-in-residence and the band members.)
Studio Bob, located upstairs at 118 1/2 E. Front St., will be holding the bi-annual Bring Your Own Art event. Anyone is invited to bring art for display this weekend; their own art, their children’s, aunt’s, uncle’s or whomever. The event runs Friday February 12, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Saturday February 13, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday February 14, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There is a $5.00 contribution fee per item for up to three pieces, which covers food and advertising. Art can be dropped off anytime Wednesday, February 10, 9:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. Art can be sold with no commission. Studio Bob will also be having a foundry pour at 7:00 pm, Friday, February 12.
Art Front Gallery, located at 118 E. Front St., will feature artists Doug Parent and Genevieve Monahan this month. Doug Parent will be showing his bright and bold paintings and drawings, with recently completed paintings from his Beyondo series started at Art Rock last month. Genevieve Monahan will be featuring her unique handmade lampworked beads, glass art and jewelry—she uses an old-world technique called “lampworking”, where fine art glass is melted over stainless steel rods. The show runs 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., Friday February 12.
Blow Hard Glass and RBS Sculpture Studio, 110 E. Railroad Ave. Friday, February 12 5:00-7:00 p.m. Paul Labrie will be demonstrating and showing people around this new art facility.
The galleries will all be open to continue their featured artists showings.
