Get to Know Us
The Whittier Art Gallery was built in 1939 by the Whittier Art Association. You can join the Association, and your annual dues will help provide funding for monthly exhibits, maintenance of the building, operating expenses, and production of our bi-monthly newsletter, Sketches.
Your dues also help fund annual school district exhibits and special programs. We encourage artists and art supporters to become members!
