A pre-St. Patrick’s Day concert, a barn dance and a photography exhibition by six local women: They’re sharing space on the North Olympic Peninsula’s itinerary for this weekend.

Here is a sampling of the art, theater and music out there.

• The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center presents its new show, “Science Stories: A Collaboration of Book Artists and Scientists,” starting tonight.

The free, public opening reception goes from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the arts center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles. Then the exhibition stays on display through May 29.

Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles. Tickets — $15 general, $8 students — are available at www.pacommunityplayers.org and at the theater door if any are left. All patrons must show proof of full vaccination through the end of this show’s run.
