Where Art Lives

About

The Klamath Art Association (KAA) has been supporting and promoting art in the Klamath Basin since 1946. Our mission is to stimulate and encourage the practice, study, and appreciation of the visual arts. The Association owns and operates a Gallery and Gift Shop at 120 Riverside Drive in historic Maple Park, part of the City Parks of Klamath Falls. We are open Thursday through Sunday, beginning on the first Sunday of each month and ending the last Sunday of each month, from noon to 4 PM, and there is no charge for admission.The Association provides opportunities for

  • artists to show and sell their work in our gallery and gift shop, as well as other venues

  • the public to view and purchase artwork and gifts from the gallery and gift shop

  • both aspiring and experienced artists to develop their skills through classes and groups

  • artists to connect with the public and with each other

The Gallery has a new exhibit every month, with the exception of November/December being a single exhibit, the Holiday Showcase. All work is original in numerous and diverse mediums from local artists, and occasionally from artists from outside the region in a cozy intimate gallery space that is a delight for gallery goers. A few months per year are dedicated to group shows.

The Gallery Gift Shop features a selection handmade jewelry, pottery, gift cards, and other items by local artists.
