Janet Pheifer was one of 25 artists The Museum of Flight chose to decorate life-size fiberglass “astronauts” last year. Her creation, “Kit the Caboodlenaut,” is dressed with everything from bicycle chains, elevator springs, small tools, guitar strings and hundreds of small photos to thousands of shiny wine foils. “Kit” will be on display in Zech Hall along with the work of eight other Whidbey artists who use recycled and found objects in their work.

This show and sale runs the first two Fridays and Saturdays of March and includes a fun mixture of art pieces from Buffy Cribbs, Katrina Hude, Kim Kelzer, Johanna Marquis, Natalie Olsen, Janet Pheifer, Sara Primrose, Sara Saltee and Fritha Strand.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
