Chehalis Storefront Art Project

The Chehalis Storefront Art Project is a joint effort between the Chehalis Community Renaissance Team (CCRT) and ARTrails of Southwest Washington, to place artists and short- and long-term exhibits in empty Chehalis area storefronts to demonstrate Chehalis' commitment to the arts, while beautifying downtown areas and allowing artists a unique canvas. 

Modeled after the successful Eugene Storefront Art Project and several other projects like it throughout the nation, the Chehalis Storefront Art Project seeks to use empty storefronts to display art. Additionally, working artists will set up their studios in empty buildings adding action and interest to the empty spots until they are rented. “PopUp” galleries will bring short-term art installations and galleries to the downtown district.

The intention is to use art to help keep empty sites active and draw people to areas that are experiencing less foot traffic with the goal of assisting in revitalization and economic development.  For additional details and an application, click here.
