Port Angeles Fine Art Center
Getting To Port Angeles Fine Arts Center
The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, originally the private home of Esther and Charles Webster, was designed in 1951, by Paul Hayden Kirk, as both a residence and artist’s studio. It is located at 1203 E Lauridsen Blvd. in Port Angeles, WA 98362.
Its history as a residence explains its positioning. When you arrive, you will find the path to both the Esther Webster Gallery and Webster's Woods at the start of a small parking lot. After a short walk up the walkway, you will see the Mid-Century Modern home as well as the 5-acres of land it resides on.
