About Us:

Vashon Allied Arts was formed in 1966 as a non profit arts organization.

Over the years, Vashon Allied Arts has continued to develop a comprehensive array of programs and services, including a gallery, performance program, class program, Artists in Schools program, the Heron's Nest art and craft gallery and Island View, a monthly publication of community arts events. Vashon Allied Arts owes much of its success to the hundreds of volunteers who donate thousands of hours out of their love for the arts and the community.

Vashon Allied Arts has acquired and improved a number of facilities to meet the demand of our growing programs. Built in 1912, the Blue Heron Art Center serves as Vashon Allied Art's administrative center, a hub for cultural activities in the community.

In 2003, Vashon Allied Arts began renting space at the historic Beall Greenhouses for a community pottery studio. Vashon Allied Arts also purchased a property adjacent to the Blue Heron, which now houses a painting studio and additional classroom space.

Gallery Hours: Tues - Fri: 10 to 5 pm., and Saturday: Noon to 5 pm.
