Our History
Rooted in Community Since 1983
Established in 1983, Methow Arts Alliance began as a small grassroots effort to bring art into the lives of residents in the Methow Valley & has grown into a nationally recognized arts organization.
As a non-profit based in Twisp, WA, we believe the arts are essential to a healthy, vibrant community.
Through our broad-reaching programs in Arts Education, Public Art, Leadership, & a year-round Performance Series, we strive to make the arts accessible to all and to connect people through creative experiences.
Our mission is to enrich lives by making the arts a core part of public school education, economic development, & community engagement in Okanogan County.
We bring the arts directly into schools & public spaces, ensuring that residents of rural Washington State can experience the transformative power of artistic expression.
