About the Peggy Lewis Gallery
The 1000 sq. ft. gallery at the Allied Arts Center displays eight major art exhibits each year that encourage artful thought and discussion in the Yakima Valley. Annually, almost 200 artists are involved, and thousands of patrons enjoy their creations. One of the most engaging exhibits, the annual Juried Art Exhibit, has been a destination for emerging and recognized artists since 1967. Peggy Lewis founded the gallery in 1965 and was its first chairwoman.
