Arts of Kenmore is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing sustainable opportunities for artists and engaging community with accessible arts experiences that improve quality of life.

Thank you to Colby Mayberry, CFP®, CEPA® and AAMS™ for sponsoring the Kenmore Art Show again this year. From a 300-person town in eastern WA to advising local business owners, Colby's whole approach is built on trust over transactions. Togetherness, basically. 🎨

You need to see "Snack Pack Parodies" at Kenmore City Hall Gallery. 7th & 8th graders at Kenmore Middle School made giant, poofy, multimedia snack parodies with a message — under the direction of the very talented Amanda Spartz. Big. Whimsical. A little unhinged. Completely amazing. Closes June 12th

Kenmore Camera and the Kenmore Art Show go together like peanut butter and chocolate. The team at Kenmore Camera has been with us from the very beginning. We can't thank them enough! If you're a photographer, you already know where to go. And if you don't, now you do. 📷
