When are children were younger(4&8) they took various art classes at what was then the Creative Arts League. This was in the mid 70′s. They enjoyed them tremendously and what a wonderful local treasure to preserve.

Lovely building

Submitted by Julie at: April 17, 2010
This remarkable structure is what initially drew me to the Kirkland Arts Center after moving to the area in 1995. It was only after pulling up to view the details of the building that I realized this building housed an Arts Center! I was immediately drawn to the artistic energy that prevails in this community, and have been actively involved ever since. Along with participation in classes, workshops, art shows, sales and board work. I’ve also provided detailed quotes for retrofitting elements of this structure. The history and legacy of this building has been such an intregal part of this community. My hope is funding will be provided to allow this structure to continue as an arts center for years to come.

A wonderful resource for the community with very fine instructors.

Submitted by Nanci at: April 23, 2010
The Kirkland Arts Center has been a focal point of my life since moving to Washington. My attempts with clay sculpture and pottery have introduced me to many extremely talented and and just great people. The faculty has always been so helpful and supportive. The outside adventures they have taken us on have been lifechanging. I suport the KAC 150% spiritually…we need help monetarily.
