The Esvelt Gallery builds if foundation on community, education and artistic expression. The gallery is dedicated to cultivating a culture of appreciation and engagement with the arts in service to the Columbia Basin College campus and wider community through a variety of artists experiences.

The Esvelt Gallery is a non-profit exhibition space located in Pasco, WA on the Columbia Basin College campus. Each academic year we feature 3-4 emerging or stablish artists exhibiting high artistic quality and practice that corresponds with our guiding principles:
– Act as an instructional tool to support educational growth through awareness, appreciation and interpretation of art.
– Promote academic excellence through exhibitions dedicated to professional development, multidimensional thinking, diversity, cultural awareness, and the college’s educational curriculum.
– Support interdisciplinary instruction by creating opportunities to introduce a diverse range of contemporary artists to the Columbia Basin College student body, community, and the Inland Northwest region through art receptions, workshops, and artist lectures.
– Enhance the CBC campus through the presentation, collection and preservation of student art as well as contemporary works through art acquisition and displays.
– Create an environment in which art is part of everyday life.
