Art Museum & Westcott Bay Unite

For the past seven months, WBI & VAM have been discussing ways in which they could better serve the community by working together.

In a retreat held July 13th, the Boards of the Westcott Bay Institute for Art & Nature (the Sculpture Park and the Island Museum of Art) and the Visual Arts Museum (VAM) agreed to a full “merger” to be effective January 1, 2009.

They will, however, begin partnering immediately. The two groups will share a booth at the upcoming San Juan County Fair and continue with all their planned exhibitions, lectures, shows, and educational programs.
