Vigil

'Vigil' is a life size bronze fishing memorial created by Blaine Sculptor Bob McDermott who also created 'Dirty Dan Harris' featured in Fairhaven. Vigil is a tribute to Blaine's fishing heritage, and features those strong women awaiting the return of their loved ones at sea who helped build our community. The three generations represent the past, present, and future for themselves and for Blaine. It is dedicated to former mayor, Dieter Schugt and others who have watched over Blaine. This beautiful sculpture enhances our new boardwalk, is cast in bronze, and should last for centuries.

The Pacific Arts Association began selling bricks, bluestones and bronzes to complement and help pay for the beautiful Vigil. Now we'd like to continue giving folks the opportunity to take their place in Blaine history. The P.A.A. along with the City of Blaine also brings a series of high quality concerts to our community each year. Several of these concerts take place during our annual Blaine Jazz Camp and Festival. This is a week-long event that brings over 100 music students from all over the Northwest to Blaine to work, study, sing and play music with nationally known professional jazz musicians from all over the country. Please see our Jazz Festival link for more information about this wonderful event.

Any proceeds coming to the Pacific Arts Association from the sale of these bricks and bronzes will be used to continue the work of our non-profit (501(c) (3) organization and are tax deductible as allowed by the IRS. Proceeds will enable us to provide much needed scholarship help to many students for our Jazz Camp/Festival as well as continue to bring quality entertainment to Blaine. Now...
