Fidalgo Island has a large public art collection that includes outdoor sculpture, a variety of murals, and public buildings with art collections by a wide range of well-known regional artists – as well as a number of Monuments and Memorials. Skagit County and Fidalgo Island were the home of a number of artists who developed a unique northwest style of art established in the early part of the 20th century, and artists who have subsequently continued to define the uniqueness of our area through their painting, sculpture, photography and other mediums. Many of these artists (including Kenneth Callahan, Philip McCracken, Guy Anderson, Max Benjamin, to name but a few) are represented in the public gallery featured below. While the gallery offers an overview of the work, each piece or collection is unique within its setting. Included in the gallery is a map to locate all of the work.
