Join us for a special evening of art, community, and celebration during Ellensburg’s First Friday Art Walk! We're proud to showcase “Paper Trails: Conservation and the Spirit of Ellensburg”—a powerful poster exhibition featuring designs by Central Washington University graphic design students alongside works from local artists.

At 5:30 PM, we’ll be hosting an Awards Ceremony to recognize standout student work, hand-picked by Nuwave Gallery and CWU faculty. Come cheer them on and celebrate the incredible talent emerging right here in the Kittitas Valley.

Enjoy wine from Fortuity Cellars, mingle with artists, and support the creative voices shaping the future. All poster artwork is available for purchase—this is your chance to collect meaningful, locally inspired pieces and directly support young creatives.

☀️ Bring the family for a day full of fun:

• 👨‍🚒 Hang with firefighters and Ember the Fire Safety Pup
• 🚒 Explore a real-life firetruck
• 🔥 Tour the EDITH HOUSE - Exit Drills In The Home (EDITH) - and learn about fire safety
• 🍔 Enjoy Mill Burn Smashburgers

While you have fun, know you're doing it for a good cause! Fortuity will be donating 10% of all wine proceeds that day back to the Yakima Valley Fire Injury and Prevention Association.
