Art from Halibut Cove

Beautiful picturesque evening in Halibut Cove/
Fine art is a major industry in this community. The census lists only 35
residents, but there are 17 artists and three galleries (I suspect the
population is several times this in the summer).
The summer-only Halibut Cove's Experience Fine Art Gallery (907-296-2215) is
first past the farm on the boardwalk, on pilings above the water. The airy room
contains works by Halibut Cove artists only.
Farther on, Diana Tillion, who, with her husband, Clem, pioneered the community,
opens her "The Cove Gallery" and studio to guests. Since the 1950s, she has worked
almost exclusively in octopus ink, painstakingly extracted with a hypodermic
needle.
