Northwest Art Alliance is dedicated to connecting the power of art, fine craft, and community.

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 normally produces three or more in-person shows each year with a total of 996 artists represented during the last three years (unduplicated count). NWAA has pivoted to virtual shows and other features to help artists sell their work during the pandemic. NWAA needs community support and donations to continue its mission. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to this non-profit organization and click here. Thank you for continued support of the Best of the Northwest shows!

NWAA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
