Our Mission Statement

The Pacific NorthWest Art School, a 40-year-old nonprofit located on beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington, is devoted to inspiring creativity and fostering artistic growth through exceptional visual arts education. We connect our community with nationally and internationally recognized instructors in fiber arts, mixed media, painting, and photography — cultivating artistic excellence and creative exploration for all.

We are equally committed to accessibility and inclusion in the arts, offering scholarships, free and low-cost workshops, and community programs that make art education available to everyone. Through initiatives like our Jail Art Program, we proudly extend the transformative power of art to all corners of our community.
