In a community so rich in history and art, it makes perfect sense that the Walla Walla Valley is a hub for
art enthusiasts.
Featured as an Art Town in the second and third editions of author John Villani’s “100 Best Small Art Towns
In America,” Walla Walla’s art galleries have been classified as “a great place to buy high quality art at affordable
prices.”
The accessibility of viewing original works of art
at galleries, restaurants, gift shops, and winery
tasting rooms, and an impressive collection of public
art in community locations makes it apparent that
Walla Walla has made a significant commitment to the
arts. This is further emphasized by the success of
local college arts programs, efforts by the local
Arts Alliance to encourage businesses to sponsor community
artists, and the success of local foundries that specialize
in highly acclaimed art that’s shipped worldwide.
If antiquing...search the shops located in settings
such as a historic home, log cabin, or renovated creamery
for that unique object or piece of furniture. Find
items from the early mining and farming days. Convenient
locations of the many antique shops make it easy to
collect a bit of local history. A map and listing
of area antique shops is available at the Walla
Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce, 29 East Sumach.
