ART IN THE VALLEY

Visual Art


The Walla Walla Valley's local business owners have a long history of providing local artists with display options within their respective establishments.  The arrangement is mutually beneficial; their patrons are connected with fine local art, and the local artists are connected with potential buyers.  Here is a list of some of the local businesses that support the arts in this way.  (We do our best to keep this information up to date, so please tell us if you see an error or something that is out of date.  Thanks!)
