Our Story The formation of the art association is a story of the talent and enthusiasm of a few people who wanted to see the work of area artists celebrated and promoted for all to enjoy, by teaching classes, organizing exhibits and holding events that promote understanding and appreciation of the arts.

Local artists and art supporters Suzanne Wilson, Ananda and Ben Bricker, Midge Obata, Becky Thatcher, Dick and Barbara Sander, Frank and Barbara Siepker, and others pooled their ideas and energies to create the organization. The organization has continued to flourish under the guidance of the many talented individuals who have served on the board and continue to volunteer their time along with others in our community to support our mission.

If you are an area resident, either full time or during the summer, and share an interest in the cause, come and join us.
