Through community events involving visual artists and musicians, its sponsorship of exhibits and programs focused on local artists, its extensive arts education in local schools and its public advocacy for the arts, Allied Arts has improved the cultural health and vitality of the community. Currently, Allied Arts is focusing on developing and increasing collaborative relationships with other local and regional organizations serving Whatcom County.

Come visit us during First Friday Art Walks, drop by the gallery, shop at our thrift store on Cornwall Ave or attend one of our many events throughout the year.
