Vashon’s annual Summer Arts Fest — a three-month extravaganza of rotating exhibits by local artists at Vashon Center for the Arts — is set to open from 5-8 p.m. Friday, June 30, with the first installment of 44 different rotating exhibitions of art by more than 60 island artists.

One of the first exhibitions in the show will be of photography that, appropriately enough, celebrates and captures the beauty of Vashon.

It’s the latest iteration of island photographer Ray Pfortner’s long-running series of “Shoot to Show” workshops, presented by the arts center. Participants in the workshop and exhibit, “Portrait of Vashon,” included two high school students and eight adults.

Pfortner said the group included some alumni of past workshops, as well as newcomers to the workshop experience.

“One person is brand new to Vashon, and discovering her home through her viewfinder, just as I did 29 years ago,” said Pfortner.

All photographs in the show, he said, were taken since March 30 — including some from two group location shoots at Point Robinson at sunrise, and Dockton Park at dusk.

Pfortner’s “Shoot to Shoot” workshops have now resulted in 25 exhibitions around the island, in galleries including The Hardware StoreRestaurant Gallery, the Vashon-Maury Land Trust Building, the former Two Wall Gallery, and at Vashon Center for the Arts.

Past themes have ranged from Mt. Rainier to Land Trust properties, to Vashon wildlife.
