Displays of original art by established local artist groups are featured in Art Gallery 1. Media types are varied within each exhibit ranging from watercolors to acrylics and oils, mixed media, photography, and more. The exhibit rotates on a quarterly basis and all art is for sale directly from the artists. Accepted artist groups go through an application and jury process. Gallery visitors enjoy viewing high-quality curated art and may purchase original works.
The EWC is delighted to be able to provide this venue to benefit our members and visitors, and to showcase and support our local artists. By engaging with art, we can make our lives richer and more fulfilling. Art can help us see the world from a different perspective, inspire our creativity, and appreciate beauty. Viewing art gives us the opportunity to relax and de-stress, learn about different cultures, and connect with others.

The EWC is honored to expose and educate visitors on the rich cultural history of our region with this exceptional art exhibit. With the Center’s unique waterfront location, we feel a particular connection to the Coast Salish and other Northwest native peoples. We are grateful to our indigenous predecessors for sharing their original lands with us and honor them at the EWC by exhibiting art that showcases their culture.
Many societies of indigenous peoples are represented in the exhibit which displays the difference in art styles and materials used in the various geographical areas. The art treasures on exhibit have been donated to the EWC by Native artisans and other collectors.
