About Fiber + Flair

NWAA Programs Impacting the PNW

NWAA fosters the power of art within communities throughout the Pacific Northwest region.

We are looking for “small towns” (about 10,000 population or less), where art is at the heart of the community, so we can bring visibility to the art and artists.

If you would like to submit a community or an organization that could be featured in our Small Community Focus, please contact us here.

Brenda North - Dayton, WA

Do you know a young artist? NWAA is looking for artwork from talented artists from grades 6-12 to be featured in the Young Artists Showcase on our website. Artwork can be submitted by a student, parent, or teacher.

Connect with us to apply today!

“Vernazza”, Austin Picinich

NWAA strives to include artists from the wealth of diversity in the Pacific Northwest. This includes people of color, Indigenous people and other diverse groups. This program highlights the spirituality, functionality, and beauty in the works of the many gifted artists throughout our region.

Apply to be a featured Cultural Connection Artist at the next Best of the Northwest Show.

“Beneath the Kelp”, Karthika Kizhepat

Northwest Art Alliance's mission and goals include expanding general and targeted outreach to all communities and artists to better serve artists' needs and help sustain support for their vocation. NWAA connects artists to the broader community through it's shows. Artists would not have this critical exposure without this connection.

Northwest Art Alliance produces three or more in-person shows each year with 1000+ artists represented during the last three years (unduplicated count). NWAA needs community support and donations to continue its mission. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to our non-profit organization. Thank you for continued support of our art programs and events!
