What is a Certified Creative District?
A Creative District is a fun place to live, work, and visit. It’s geographically defined area of cultural and economic activity. It’s the heart of a community. It is a place for people to gather and enjoy their community’s arts and culture.
A district is a place where innovation and creativity can thrive. A place that helps the community move enthusiastically into the future.
COWALLA is the center of creativity, uniting the lively communities of Walla Walla and College Place to display the art and culture of our skilled artists. Officially recognized as an ArtsWA Creative District in Summer 2024.
