The arts are essential.
We’re lucky enough to have a thriving group of artists in Ridgefield WA supporting each other and our growing community.
When we lift each other up, the work only gets better!
Upcoming Events
Friday and Saturday Sept 19-20, 2026 from 11am-5pm each day.
21 artists who love to work BIG will create 21 unique small galleries showing painting, mixed media, collage and sculpture. All this is happening in the historic Greely Building in downtown Ridgefield. Live music by Keegan Smith and Kit Garoutte throughout the weekend. A special thank you to the City and Port of Ridgefield for the use of this unique space.
Who we are:
The Ridgefield Art Association is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3), dedicated to promoting art in Ridgefield WA. Just 15 min North of the Vancouver WA-Portland OR area.
We are a talented group that is now 120+ members strong. We have a community-minded focus on showing off the work our members create, helping them grow, and raising funds for projects that lift those who need it in our small (but growing) town.
Our gallery, featuring exclusively Ridgefield Art Association members, is located at 104 N Main Avenue, Suite 110. You can also find our work on the walls of the local public library and other businesses around town.

FAQ

Nope! You can live anywhere, but we recommend being close enough that you’re comfortable driving to Ridgefield for various events so you can take full advantage of your membership.
-
No, you don’t. But chances are if you make something with your own two hands we will call you an artist until you tell us what you’d like to be called. You can also just be a supporter of the arts!
