We started Alchemy in 2018 because we know that art is important. Not just for culture, self-expression, and joy; but also for healing, relaxation, and connecting people to causes they care about. Art is an outlet. A place to get perspective and have new experiences. A place to be yourself. 

We don’t just like art, we need art. More and more, local mental health providers reach out to us to create opportunities for people to heal and find release. As the only community arts center on San Juan Island, we take our role seriously and are so thankful for your trust in us to provide this critical community service.

And we still need your help. Donations from people like you allow us to be flexible and quickly respond to what our community needs, not just what restricted funding will pay for. Donations, along with grants and program income, are an incredibly important part of what we do. So thank you for taking our classes, telling your friends, donating your time, money, and supplies - and for making all this magic possible.
