About Us

Formerly Northwest Crafts Alliance, the group was founded by a group of artists in 1989 to produce a holiday art show. Reorganized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2011, Northwest Art Alliance has become the heart of an expanding network of artists, art supporters, art organizations and art collectors. Like that first 'Best of the Northwest' Show, our current spring and fall shows feature the area's best makers of American art and fine craft.

Our mission is to nurture and promote the NW art and fine crafts community. The NW Art Alliance provides artists with essential tools, education and exposure to help them succeed, and provides our area with access to a vibrant community of artists and craftspeople.
