WELCOME! You’ve arrived. Everything you want to know about the VISUAL ARTS on Camano Island and in historic Stanwood, Washington, can be found here.

From the Events Calendar to a CAA Member Gallery to information and conversation - use the top menu and right column navigation to find in-depth and up-to-date news. Hosted by the Camano Arts Association, this website is a gateway to many of the wonderfully talented artists and art-oriented enthusiasts who comprise a very active community dedicated to furthering the arts in this Snohomish/Island County paradise.

From the hugely popular Studio Tour on Mother’s Day weekend, sponsoring art in public places, scholarships for aspiring art students and mentoring those students, teaching art classes and always seeking new ways to further art as part of our lifestyle and culture… CAA has provided the vision, energy and manpower to make Stanwood and Camano Island a regionally-recognized center for the arts in Puget Sound.

Thank you for visiting our website!

AND… anything pertinent outside our borders as well. Feel free to SEND US your comments, observations, and announcements (is applicable, we will also include your announcement in the Local Art Calendar listings). Your participation will make this BLOG go, make it relevant, make it fun, make it useful. Helpful hints, courteous critique and (keep it clean) even relevant humor… we welcome it. One note - your message must be art-related or community-relevant to be posted. Thanks for your participation… NOW LET’S BLOG!

2009 TOUR OFFERS NEW PROMOTIONS: We’ve got some new “partners” for the Tour this year. Anyone planning to “do” the Tour will want to know about special offers at the Holiday Inn Express in Marysville and in Burlington, and La Quinta in Everett. Remember that visitors staying overnight means that people can see more of the Tour. So be a Tour marketer… encourage anyone you know to take advantage of the really good deals.
