Mission

Columbia Center for the Arts’ mission is to promote an arts-rich environment in the Columbia Gorge, in which novices as well as established artists and performers discover and develop their full creative potential.

Artistic Vision

Columbia Center for the Arts is dedicated to challenging the community, artists and audiences alike, with theatre, visual and literary art that not only explores our strengths, but examines our frailties and our diversity.

Telling our stories, painting our pictures or teaching our classes, will often bring into play experiences that test us and make us question our preconceived notions. This is where we feel the creative process begins.
