The San Juan Islands Museum of Art (SJIMA) in Friday Harbor, Washington, will present three exhibitions from June 11 to September 14, 2026, featuring photography, etching, glass sculpture, and feather sculpture. The exhibitions include "Convergence & Divergence: The Family Aesthetic" in the Nichols Gallery, showcasing the work of Imogen Cunningham, Roi Partridge, and Rondal Partridge together for the first time, with over 100 photographs and prints spanning nearly 110 years. Also on view are "Feathered Masterpieces: The Artistry of Chris Maynard" in the North Gallery, featuring intricate feather carvings, and a glass sculpture by Raven Skyriver.
This exhibition matters because it offers a rare, intimate look at how artistic vision and technique are transmitted across generations within a single family, highlighting the distinct yet interconnected contributions of three major figures in American photography and etching. By also including contemporary feather sculpture and glass art, SJIMA underscores the ongoing dialogue between historical and contemporary approaches to nature and material, reinforcing the museum's role as a regional hub for art that engages with Washington State's natural and cultural environments.
