Tsuga Gallery was formed in 2011, by benefactor Janet Cimino in a century old building on Main Street of Cathlamet. Her goal was to bring artists and locals together to make, learn and participate in a community-based art program. Still artistically strong today, Tsuga Gallery’s goals are to continue Cimino’s dream. Further information about the Tsuga Gallery and the Cathlamet Art Festival can be found at http://www.tsugagallery.org.
