Art in the Park Festival is the annual fundraiser for Allied Arts Association.

Allied Arts Association is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that believes a vibrant community deserves a rich variety of visual arts opportunities. From our home at the Gallery at the Park, we provide appreciation for the arts, changing exhibits, and art education. 

Allied Arts is run by a dedicated Board of Directors, dozens of fabulous volunteers, and many faithful members. We strive to be a place where the community can interact with the arts and artists in a real way.  Over the years, the gallery has expanded from an artist cooperative to having a sales gallery, a featured show gallery and an art education classroom. Local and regional artists bring their original, handmade art to the gallery for display and sale to the public.

100% of ALL funds that are generated and raised at our festival goes to pay for:

1. Festival overhead and operational expenses-
Keeping our event FREE and Open to the general public.

2. Maintain operations at Gallery at the Park-
Thus ensuring that artists within the Mid-Columbia Basin are able to show case and sell their artwork. (Gallery at the Park is located on 89 Less Blvd. in Richland, WA)

3. Provide art scholarships for our local community-
CBC students and MFA students are eligible for our scholarships

4. Provide art education-
We offer numerous adult programs and workshops through out the year including; bi-monthly figure drawing classes, weekly “Paint-In” groups, and personalized classes with guests artists.
We also offer our summer programs children’s workshops (June thru August).

5. Support our annual Juried Art Show-
Show casing regional, national and international artists in the month of July.

6. Celebrating the arts by hosting exhibits in our Featured Artist Gallery-
Each month we offer a new, immersive art experience by hosting a new show in our Featured Artist Gallery. Like our festival, our Featured Artists shows are always free, all ages and open to the public.

7. Our festival, like our organization & Gallery, is 100% powered by volunteers!
