Valley Art’s mission is to be a bridge between artists and the community by supporting and encouraging artists at every stage through exhibitions, gallery sales, special events and classes.
As one of the oldest nonprofit, volunteer-run art associations in the Pacific Northwest, we feature over 100 established and emerging local artists. We carry an eclectic assortment of paintings, pottery, jewelry, wood carvings, glass art, metal sculpture, textiles, and garden art, to name a few. We offer classes for all ages in pottery, painting, mixed media, drawing and bookmaking – truly something for everyone.
Valley Art, established in 1966, is celebrating its 58th anniversary in 2024. Our gallery – designated a 501(c)(3) – is located in the heart of historic downtown Forest Grove on Main Street. The gallery was started in 1966 by 12 artists. Two years later it became a legitimate business, and we’ve been in our current location since 1984. We have over 365 members, 100+ artists, and nearly 50 active volunteers.
Donations are welcome any time. Your contribution is tax-deductible under Section 501 (c)3 of the IRS tax code. Stop by the gallery or send your donation to VAA, P.O. Box 333, Forest Grove, OR 97116.
