In pretty much any Northwest Washington town, you’ll often find yourself near local art. Below, you can find just a few of the galleries that showcase the creative work of our area.
Allied Arts of Whatcom County
In the heart of downtown Bellingham, we’re surrounded by the creative endeavors of the folks who make the town what it is. For more than 45 years, Allied Arts of Whatcom County has added to that environment by providing a space for local artists to display their work to the public; they moved into a new location on Cornwall Avenue in January of this year. 1213 Cornwall Ave., Bellingham, 360.676.8548, alliedarts.org
