The Kirkland Arts Center supports the creation and appreciation of art by offering classes, camps and workshops for 1200 to 1500 students each year, from its home in the landmark Peter Kirk Building at 620 Market Street (425-822-7161).

The Arts Center has owned and maintained this historic building for 37 years, and has made it open to the public as an education facility, community arts studio and exhibition center for art lovers of all ages.

Tens of thousands of residents and visitors to Washington enjoy its 1000 square foot exhibition space each year during the six to ten gallery exhibits shown there.

The gallery is open to the public M-F 11-6 and Sat 11-2, and is free of charge.
