MISSION
To cultivate the arts in the Columbia River Gorge by providing experiences that touch the heart, challenge the intellect, and spark conversation.

To support a community that values, participates and partners in the arts.
WHAT WE DO
Columbia Center for the Arts is dedicated to offering a wide range of opportunities for students, artists, and audiences to engage with the arts and with the local community. We operate a centrally located facility in Hood River, OR, that has space for fine art and a craft gallery for exhibiting the sale of visual artwork, a theatre/auditorium for performing arts, and multi-use spaces for educational arts programming. In an effort to connect and benefit the arts community for all ages, backgrounds and all levels of experience. We value art-making as an essential part of a vibrant and healthy society.
CCA’s objective is to create a cultural destination in Hood River, OR, with facilities that enable the arts to thrive in the Columbia River Gorge. An additional goal is to draw a variety of artists and art groups from throughout the Pacific Northwest to not only enhance and improve the arts, but to help boost the region’s economy and quality of life.
