A Night of Art and Fundraising: Supporting Downtown Murals

During March’s First Friday Art Walk, community members gathered for an evening of art, music, and connection in support of downtown Ellensburg’s growing mural program. Guests at Fortuity Cellars/Nuwave Gallery enjoyed live acoustic music, a collaborative community mural, art experiences, and raffle prizes throughout the night.

Thanks to the generosity of attendees and participating businesses, the event raised $1,422 to support future public art projects.

These funds will help bring more murals and public art to downtown Ellensburg, adding vibrancy to our historic streets and creating spaces that invite people to explore, gather, and support local businesses.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the evening a success, and special thank you to the volunteers of the EDA Mural Society, Emily Fergestrom of Fortuity Cellars, Erin Oostra of Nuwave Gallery, and Steve Reid of The Ames House.
