Temporary Store Closing

Willow of Walla Walla will be closed the month of January to take some time off, to re-paint the gallery walls, and to prepare for its exciting line-up of exhibitions coming next year.    The Loft Gallery is happy to announce that the 2010 February-March exhibition will host new works by Claire Johnston and Jim German of Waitsburg.  Artists' reception and opening night is on February 11, from 5 to 8pm!   Willow of Walla Walla is located at 2 E Rose.  Call 509-876-2247 for more information.

Still Looking for holiday gifts? Well, we have the perfect idea. How about a miniature replica of a downtown building? Sets of the Post Office, Drumheller, Liberty Theater, Depot, and Die Brucke buildings are available for $200 a set.

The Drumheller, Depot, Die Brucke, and Liberty Theater buildings are available for individual puchase for $30 each, or $25 each for those purchasing more than one. Please contact the DWWF office at 529-8755 or come by our office at 2 South First Suite #300 (upstairs next to the Beehive) to purchase your buildings today.

Here is part of the Walla Walla Bread Company team taking their photo op with Santa.
