Announcing our NEW NWAA Logo!

As we charge forward toward a future of opportunities and creativity, the Board of Directors felt that a new NWAA logo would bring new energy to the organization.

The vision of a redesigned logo follows the important work completed in 2024 as a three-year Strategic Plan was adopted providing a roadmap of opportunities to grow the organization. Watch for our new logo in our newsletter and all our upcoming communications. We hope you are as excited as we are about this new look for the future.

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 and click here. Thank you for continued support of the Best of the Northwest shows!
