The Methow Valley is and has been home to several artists that have, over the years, shaped what we know of today as our thriving art community.
While the valley began humbly enough as small rural towns based on mining, logging, agriculture, and ranching, a small enclave of talented dedicated forward-thinking artists had the insight and fortitude to develop a circle of artists and art spaces. The circle widened, thereby influencing our local economy, schools, and how we approach what a healthy well-rounded community is. (Artwork left, Archaeology of Grief, Acrylic on board by Tori Karpenko.)
Including long-standing Methow artists as well as those who have passed on, we hope to honor the artistic legacies they have created. They have shaped our past and are paramount to directing our future in the Arts. Their steadfast dedication to the Arts and the survival of the rural artist has paved the way for artists and makers today.

Am also sorry not to see this beautiful work in person. Don’t have a website but wonder how to go about sharing work as it’s flowing again for me (after the Room One Big Event.) Even if I can’t actually easily participate as an artist, (if the technology gap is a hurdle) I am so grateful and continually inspired by Methow Arts and the support for artists that you and the Confluence Gallery are continuing to provide. Thank you! Living in this community with Nature & Art at its center is like living in heaven… especially now!
