Alchemy Art Center

Our fundraiser is one of our favorite nights of the year—one attendee last year said it was the most fun night of their entire life ! This year, we’re heading down the rabbit hole for an evening inspired by Alice in Wonderland. We invite you to interpret the theme in your outfit and come ready for a festive night celebrating all things Alchemy! When : Friday, November 6, 2026, 6-9pm Where : San Juan Island Grange What : A festive evening with a delicious Spanish-inspired dinner by Gretchen Allison, drinks, dancing, a rousing auction, and plenty of Wonderland whimsy. Alchemy’s Fall Fundraiser is one of our most important sources of support for our year-round programming. Your participation helps make it possible for us to offer classes, exhibitions, free community arts activities, artist residencies, and new opportunities for creativity and connection throughout the islands.

Do you want feedback from other artists on an art piece you're stuck on? Do you want to talk about art with other islanders? Join us! We meet every other Wednesday evening and share projects we are working on that we'd like feedback on, past pieces we'd like to build upon, or any other in-progress or completed work we'd like to share. You are also welcome to come just to check out work and talk with other artists! This is an informal supportive group of artists providing feedback for one another, discussing ideas, and hopefully laying the groundwork for creating new work and new collaborations. This is a drop-in group, you can attend as many as you'd like. We like folks to sign up ahead of time so we can best organize the space, but you may show up at the door as well. Suggested donation $15-$25. Artists Critique Group is held in the dome on the AAC campus. Registration: Please register early if you are able, as it helps us to assure that programs meet their minimums in order to run!
