A ripple effect
When you support Northwind Art today, on Giving Tuesday 2025, you help sustain welcoming places for all of us to connect, learn and find new inspiration.
Make a gift at this moment, and you become part of a wave of Giving Tuesday generosity — strengthening the nonprofit organizations that make a difference in our communities.
Thanks to one generous donor, your donation of any size to Northwind will be doubled — so the time is now.
Why not donate early, and know that your gift supports the spacious gallery, the nonprofit art school, scholarships for youth and adults — the whole range of programs at Northwind Art.

November 20, 2025 - January 5, 2026
Jeanette Best Gallery, 701 Water Street, Port Townsend
More than 40 Pacific Northwest artists fill the gallery with small works, ranging from plein air paintings to jewelry and beyond.
This exhibition encourages the giving of art during the holiday season. It is a dynamic show: As art buyers take home their purchases, fresh artwork is rotated in!
More than 600 submissions came in when the call for entries opened up in September. Jurors Margaret Woodcock, Diane Urbani and the Northwind Art Exhibits Team combed through them all, selecting 205 pieces for the show. Congratulations to Debra Olson of Port Townsend, winner of the Jurors' Choice Award for her assemblage, "The Curious Keepsake Cache"!
Join us for a special Art Walk celebration of Small Expressions on Saturday, December 6. We will have live music, refreshments and artists on hand from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
