Our biggest fundraiser
This Saturday evening!
Just a few tickets are left for the Northwind Art Gala, a celebration of creativity. We've assembled a night of live music with the Salish Surf Rockabillies, a festive auction of extraordinary items, wonderful food and drink — and some very pleasant surprises!
Your ticket supports the coming year of inclusive programming: 10 gallery shows per year, scores of art classes and workshops, community art activities for everyone.
Can't join us Saturday? You can still donate to Northwind Art today.
