Mar 17 @ 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm
St. Patrick's Day Art Show @ Town Hall | Copalis Crossing | Washington | United States

Get inspired this St. Patrick’s Day by perusing original art created by the Grays Harbor community. North Coast Montessori, an elementary and middle school in Seabrook, Washington’s beach town, will host its second annual St. Patrick’s Day Art Show.

The exhibit will showcase original work in various media – including paintings, drawings, prints, photography, mixed media and sculpture – from artists of all ages who live or work in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Thirty percent of event proceeds will be donated to the North Coast Montessori Scholarship Fund, which contributes to full and partial scholarships to the school for students in grades K-8. The goal of the event is to provide scholarships for 1-2 students for the 2018-19 school year.

Guests can enjoy refreshments, green beer and champagne while appreciating local artists’ creations. After finding their next masterpiece, visitors can explore the surrounding area’s quaint shops, walking trails, parks and homes.

COASST Marine Debris Training @ Ocean Shores Library
Apr 15 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
COASST Marine Debris Training @ Ocean Shores Library | Ocean Shores | Washington | United States

The Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) will deliver a free training session for citizens interested in joining the COASST Marine Debris program. The COASST Marine Debris program is focused on the intersection of science, conservation, and communities. Through an interactive, hands-on workshop, trainees will learn how to collect data on the characteristics and location of debris – data that will ultimately be used to map the source and transport pathways of debris and to identify potential harm to people, wildlife, and local coastal ecosystems.

There is no charge to attend, but we ask participants to provide a $20 refundable deposit if they would like to take home a COASST survey toolkit. Beach surveys are best conducted in groups of 2 or more – please come with a survey partner in mind or plan to join a team during training. No prior experience is necessary, just a commitment to survey a specific beach at least once a month. Training activities take place indoors. Reserve your training spot by calling emailing.
