The Community Art Studio of Skamania (CASS) is a nonprofit community art studio. It is an inclusive creative space, where everyone is seen as an artist and creative expression becomes a vehicle for healing, belonging, and community building. Nestled in downtown Stevenson, Washington, CASS is in a new location, sharing space with Skamania Kids and Youth (SKY), a new Teen Center. 

 

At CASS we create art with community and create community through art. We welcome people of all socio-economic backgrounds, ages, cultures, and abilities. We believe that everyone is an artist, and that art-making is a powerful tool for healing, connection, and belonging. We center sustainability by using mostly recycled, repurposed, thrifted, and donated materials - and we offer them freely or at low cost so everyone can participate.

 

Whether you're joining us  in the studio or with CASS Mobile Art at a community event, you're invited to create, connect, and thrive.

 

How We Show Up:

• In our studio: A vibrant, eclectic space for Art Hives/open studios, group gatherings, and workshops.

• Across the Gorge: As CASS Mobile Art, with pop-up art events, workshops and in partnership with local businesses and groups
