The Allied Arts building at 89 Lee Blvd. in Richland was constructed in 1909 as a boarding house. It’s been a hotel, home to The Villager newspaper, and also served as the Richland Library for a time. Allied Arts took up residence in 1965 and has made many changes. The gallery features monthly art exhibitions as well as holding art classes, workshops and summer art classes for kids.
 
In 1975, Allied Arts Association received the Washington State Governor’s Award, recognizing the organization for its vibrant volunteerism for promoting community visual arts.
