70th Central Washington Artists Exhibition

Exhibiting November 1 – December 6, 2025

Opening Reception: Saturday, November 1, from 4-7pm

Award Ceremony will be held at 5pm.

This year’s juror is Central Washington Artist, Leo Adams.

“I am honored to be the juror for this show. It was quite a task to go through the large number of amazing submissions for the 2025 Central Washington Artists’ Exhibition. I went through the stack of work multiple times, considering how each of the chosen pieces would contribute to a cohesive and engaging exhibition,  representative of the region. During my deliberation, I was amazed by the quality and variety of work, and artistic talent that resides in Central WA. Congratulations to all of the artists represented in the show.” -Leo Adams

Exhibition sponsored by Christian and Janet Schlect.
