ROOTED IN ART
Foundry Vineyards has deep roots in contemporary art and the Walla Walla Valley. In 1980 Walla Walla natives Mark and Patty opened the Walla Walla Foundry, a contemporary art production facility. Today the Walla Walla Foundry works with renowned artists worldwide and has been recognized as one of the premier fine-art casting facilities in the US.

GALLERY AT FOUNDRY VINEYARDS WALLA WALLA
The gallery at Foundry Vineyards opened in 2010 and has been fortunate to exhibit artists such as Deborah Butterfield, Ai Weiwei, Chuck Close, Kiki Smith, Matthew Day Jackson, Rob Pruitt, James Lavadour, and more. In the gallery, we aim to exhibit a diverse group of established artists, mediums, and concepts predominantly in the vein of contemporary art.
​
The gallery hosts quarterly exhibits. Though the dates are subject to change, art openings typically occur in February, May, August, and November and are co-curated by owners Lisa & Jay Anderson. The Foundry Vineyards gallery is not open for artist inquiries, however the Andersons believe strongly in collaboration and are open to proposals from art and humanities focused organizations.
