Mission Statement

Fall City Arts is committed to building community, invigorating imaginations, encouraging creativity and expression, and fostering friendships across generations with a variety of art, science, and culture events held close-to-home in our beloved rural town.

Board Members / Officers

It is an exciting time for Fall City Arts! Over the last couple of years, Krimsey Lilleth and Scott Ricketts have helped to reinvigorate Fall City Arts and set a new foundation for growth of the arts in Fall City. By securing a Washington 4 Culture grant, they found a way to continue current events like Shakespeare in the Park, dances, and children's programs, AND there is still room this year for creating new events that could become Fall City Arts traditions. We are looking for new board members to help us create and develop this programming!

The History of Fall City Arts

Originally founded in 2003, Fall City Arts was established to bring the community together over activities such as Shakespeare in the Park, community dances, musical performances, art installations, craft markets, kids programming, and more.

In 2022, Barbara Center passed down the organization to Krimsey Lilleth and Scott Ricketts. Barbara was a founding member and 20+ year FCA volunteer— bringing us murals (pictured below is Brian Major's "Snoqualmie Valley" painted in partnership with Mt. Si High School students in 2011), art walks, live performances, and more. Read more about her in this Valley Record featured article (linked below).
