Announcing the Emerging Artist Program Winners!

Congratulations to the artists selected by the EAP Committee as recipients of the EAP Award. Our Board Members will begin mentoring these artists - offering feedback, answering questions, and informing them about ‘best practices’ for showing art at shows in the PNW. Be sure to stop by the Spring Show, April 13 & 14 to see Rose Port and Sarah Silverman-Pucci in their first Best of the Northwest Show. Click to read more about it HERE.

NEW! PCC Market Exhibits

Our newest partnership between Northwest Art Alliance (NWAA) and PCC Community Markets gives artists an opportunity to display and sell their artwork at several local PCC Markets. This is another way NWAA works to connect the power of art to the community. We invite you to visit these exhibits at participating PCC locations. In mid-April we will open up a call for artists who would like to participate in these exhibits.

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!
