Whidbey Island Center for the Arts is a community-based performing arts venue located on Whidbey Island in Washington. It opened in May 1996 after a ten-year grassroots effort to establish a dedicated center for the arts on rural South Whidbey Island. The site features a 246-seat theater that hosts a year-round schedule of performances and related programs. The organization operates with a small core staff and draws substantial support from volunteers, under the direction of a 15-member board of directors consisting of artists, business people, and other community leaders. Its programming includes performances as well as workshops and lectures, designed to entertain, educate, and enrich the local community and visiting audiences. The organization’s mission centers on providing and maintaining a community arts facility and offering diverse programs of entertainment, education, and cultural enrichment for Whidbey Island residents and visitors.
