Proceeds for a Cause
A portion of the proceeds from artwork sales will support ArtWalla’s Arts Build Communities Grant. This annual grant funds arts, cultural, and educational organizations in the Walla Walla Valley, furthering our shared commitment to enriching the community.
Selection Process
The selection process for this juried show was decided on by two of our community arts members, Emily & Andrew Somoskey. With over 45 artists submitting work, our jurors carefully reviewed each piece based on:
✔ Alignment with the theme – How well the work reflects the idea of Resilience.
✔ Artistic quality – Creativity, technique, and impact.
✔ Cohesion – How the selected works contribute to a unified and engaging exhibition.
To be eligible, artists had to meet the following criteria:
- Be 18 years or older
- Reside within 60 miles of Walla Walla
- Submit work completed within the last five years
From this talented group, 26 artists were selected. While narrowing down the submissions was a difficult task, we are incredibly proud of the chosen works and the meaningful stories they tell.
