What we do

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 new 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.

Our Mission

  1. Promote Ridgefield as an arts and culture community and bring artists together.

  2. Showcase local talent and participate in events that benefit artists and culture in the community.

  3. Work towards the development of a permanent creative arts center and gallery in Ridgefield.

  4. Create a network for mentoring artists while providing encouragement and education through scholarships and grants.

  5. Participate in ongoing artistic development of the community.

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!
