We’re believers in the power of fine art, literature and community.
At HALO, we're expanding the conversation around art and ideas through compelling exhibitions, engaging artist talks, free workshops with world-renowned instructors, and literary gatherings. Along the way, we're championing our island's remarkable creative talent while bringing fresh perspectives and artistic voices to our community.
Perhaps you caught the powerful homegrown work of Kate Geddes, Aleph Geddis, and Annie Starling Sparks at our first exhibitions with MUST Gallery at Orcas Island Winery. Or you were among the twelve hundred audience members who experienced stunning works by Susan Singleton, Martha Farish, and Guggenheim Fellow Michael Lundgren projected behind the MirĂł Quartet at the Chamber Music Festival.
Maybe you've discovered ROAM's ambitious contemporary art installations and its literary events featuring Danny Sherrard, winner of the Paris International Poetry Slam, and Emma Pattee, author of Tilt.
Well, we’re just getting started.
