Orcas Center

Incorporated in 1976, Orcas Center is Orcas Island's performing arts and community center; providing Islanders with artistic and cultural experiences that feed their hearts, souls and minds. Our 10,000 square foot facility is a beautiful, comfortable, safe space in which to make art, gather with friends new and old, and further the sense of community that is so vital and unique to Orcas Island.
