## About

Nonprofit arts organization in Port Townsend offering gallery exhibitions, art education, and artist resources.

Northwind Art is a nonprofit arts organization based in Port Townsend, Washington, formed in January 2021 through the merger of Port Townsend School of the Arts and Northwind Arts Center. The organization centers its work on three pillars: education, exhibitions, and artist resources, with a mission to empower meaningful connections through visual art. Northwind Art operates the Jeanette Best Gallery on Water Street in downtown Port Townsend and the Northwind Art School at Fort Worden State Park, offering classes, workshops, and youth camps. Supported by a community of donors, partners, and grant organizations, Northwind Art serves artists of all levels across the Pacific Northwest.
