Peninsula Arts Association…

Encourages, stimulates, supports and promotes

creative expression

by individuals, groups and community...

 

Bordered by the Pacific Ocean, the mighty Columbia River and beautiful Willapa Bay,

the small towns dotted throughout this southwest Washington peninsula are the hometowns to a wildly diverse and active community of artists. 

Not your ordinary art group, PAA is comprised of creative souls lured by the natural beauty of the surroundings and the promise of a “beach” lifestyle.  From amateur to professional, from young to old and wood carver to world recognized watercolorist, PAA welcomes all who share in the joy of artistic endeavors.

Membership in Peninsula Arts Association is $20 a year.  Patron Memberships are also welcome...you don't have to be an artist to actively support the arts.
Full membership details, including Family and Youth membership options may be found by clicking Membership (above). 
PAA holds General Membership Meetings on the third Tuesday of the month, at 6 pm.  Call 360-665-6041 for location.

PAA Art Shows and Events 2008

PAA Artists Studio Tour

November 29, 2008 - 10 to 4 pm

 

Peninsula Arts Association's 1st Studio Tour is a go.  There will be 14 locations from Chinook to Oysterville with 17 artists participating.  Many locations will have demonstrations and all will have unique holiday gift items and art for sale. 

 

The Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend, November 29, is the date...studios will be open form 10 to 4 pm.  It's a great way to learn about our artist community and see a bit of the peninsula on the way.  It is also an excellent way to introduce young people to art!
 
As of November 17, free maps to all locations may be picked up at the Visitors Bureau in Seaview, The Picture Attic in Long Beach and during week days, The Chinook Observer in Long Beach and Buzy Beez Copy Center in Ocean Park.  Maps will also be available at all tour locations or you may simply follow the signs that will be posted on tour day.
