Welcome
New West Artists is an inclusive, non-profit society based in New Westminster, BC. NWA endeavours to inspire, encourage, and celebrate visual artists through connection, education, and promotion.
New West Artists was founded in 2017 by a small group of artists who had a vision to increase awareness and appreciation of art by connecting artists within our community.
NWA encourages new and experienced artists in developing their art via juried and non-juried exhibitions, and through workshops and coordinated events. As a well-recognized community resource, we continue to anticipate, create and extend opportunities to promote the arts and our members.
NWA welcomes visual artists of all levels, from hobby artists through seasoned veterans to full-time professional artists. You don’t have to be a resident of New Westminster to be a member of the group. Our membership is comprised of artists from many nearby towns and surrounding areas.
Benefits of Membership:
• Exhibiting your art in NWA Group Shows
• Camaraderie with other local artists
• News of upcoming exhibitions, workshops, and events

• NWA profile page with 3-4 photos of your art, short bio, and links to your social media
