We the Artists

We the Artists features works by over 30 local and regional artists in a chorus of transformation and advocacy. The diverse works raise awareness and show that through visual art, individuals can promote change. The artworks all address important issues of our time and give power to the artist’s voice, both individually and collectively. We invite the community to take in this unique show and see how art is providing new ways to see our world. Curator: Merry Maxwell

Mumurations: The Confluence Poets

As an integral part of the We the Artists exhibit, Murmurations: Poetry & Art as Collective Action raises its voice in protest and praise. This Community Gallery exhibit combines poetry with visual art to encourage collaboration, give voice to our community, and amplify one another through integrated poetic and artistic expression. Mindful that we are not alone in our experience of both the grievances and hopefulness imbuing our lives at this time, poets and visual artists co-create works that express something they care deeply about. Curators: Eileen "Sam" Owen and Cindy Williams Gutierrez

Our Mission

Our mission is to support visual and literary art through the exhibition and sale of works by Okanogan County and regional artists, to sponsor programs that bring community together in celebration of the arts, and to make art accessible to all.

Our Vision

We aim to enrich our rural community by providing a gathering place for innovative, inclusive, and engaging art.

The Confluence enriches the communities of Okanogan County with a quality art gallery, art education programs, and artist cultivation efforts. Located in downtown Twisp, the heart of the Methow Valley, our region boasts fabulous natural beauty, a strong culture of creativity and entrepreneurship, and love and care for the land we live on.
