PORT ANGELES — A waterfront celebration of the arts begins today when sand sculptures and art and vendor booths open at 2 p.m. for the three-day Port Angeles Nor'wester Rotary Arts in Action Festival.

Festival hours will be from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. today, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Hollywood Beach and City Pier in Port Angeles at Railroad Avenue and Lincoln Street.

Eight world-class sand sculptors will compete in the ninth annual Windermere Sand Sculpture Classic, creating designs for this year's theme, “Wonderful World of Sports.”

Admission to the sand sculpture gallery will be $2 for adults and free for children younger than 12.

Chance to vote

The juried contest also will offer visitors the opportunity to vote for the People's Choice award by placing quarters in the boxes by their favorites.

Two noncompeting sculptors have created display sculptures for the festival.

Charlie Beaulieu of Kingston, one of the top 10 sand sculptors in the world, created a tribute to Olympic National Park and the Elwha dams removal project, which begins in September.

The sculpture is at Windemere Real Estate, 711 E. Front St.

Dan Belcher of St. Louis, who won first place for the past two years, will create a sculpture as the artist in residence.

It can be seen at the Port Angeles CrabHouse Restaurant, adjacent to Hollywood Beach.

Earlier this week, 12 truckloads of glacial sand were brought to the beach from local storage and Silverdale.

Chain gang crews from the Clallam County jail assisted in moving the sand from the parking area to the beach.

Artists put the sand in forms and began compacting the sand to create man-made sandstone Wednesday, said Doc Reiss, co-chairman of the Arts in Action committee.

Began work Thursday

Sculptors began carving their creations early Thursday morning.

By the time the event opens today, the sculptures should be about a third complete.

“Most of the time, you don't get to see the art created,” Reiss said.

“It's quite a spectator sport.”

There are only about 100 professional, world-class sand sculptors in the world, he said.

This year's competitors include Carl Jara of Cleveland, Ohio; Vern Cooley of Seattle; Sue McGrew of Tacoma; Damon Farmer of Versailles, Ky.
