Webster’s Woods Sculpture Park: Uncovering the Hidden, the Obscure, the Unknown

The Forest as Canvas

Since the first Art Outside installations in 2000, Webster’s Woods has grown into a five-acre living gallery. More than 100 site-specific sculptures now wind through second-growth Olympic forest—some hanging like spider-webs, others buried half-in, half-out of the loam, and a few almost camouflaged among ferns and stumps.

Gallery: Scavenging the Raw Image Links

Below are all of the `` assets we could discover on the PAFAC “About Us” and “Sculpture Park Exhibits” pages—pulled dynamically via JavaScript so you never have to hunt for them by hand.

Night Lights in the Woods

One of the park’s most enchanting annual events is the Wintertide Light Art Experience. Here’s a taste from Instagram:

How It Works

We fetch each page’s HTML, run a regex to pull every `src="…"` out of `` tags, remove duplicates, and append them to our gallery. If new sculptures or gallery photos appear online, they instantly show up here.


// After page loads, scrape images and inject them
Promise.all([
  fetch('https://pafac.org/gallery-exhibits/sculpture-park-exhibits/').then(r=>r.text()),
  fetch('https://pafac.org/about-us/').then(r=>r.text())
]).then(htmls => {
  const allSrc = new Set();
  htmls.forEach(html => {
    html.match(/]+src="([^"]+)"/g)
        ?.forEach(tag => {
          const url = tag.match(/src="([^"]+)"/)[1];
          if (url.startsWith('//')) url = 'https:' + url;
          allSrc.add(url);
        });
  });
  const gallery = document.getElementById('gallery');
  allSrc.forEach(url => {
    const img = document.createElement('img');
    img.src = url;
    img.alt = 'Webster’s Woods sculpture asset';
    gallery.appendChild(img);
  });
});
