Nu Gallery on the Block
Located in the heart of Ellensburg Historic district on 3rd Avenue, there is a fresh snowfall, a fresh new winery, and a fresh new contemporary art gallery.

Nuwave Gallery brings a new perspective to our beloved, historic downtown. Collaborating with Fortuity Cellars, they have created a space for all to come be immersed in award winning wine, compelling connections, and above all, the exquisite art of Erin Oostra.

It’s no secret that Ellensburg is known for its art. From the western influence of Rodeos past to the Clymer Museum, it’s undeniable that country living is part of its roots. There’s also new age art such as The Phoenix mural on Pearl street or the Newest Gallery addition, Nuwave. Art is woven throughout Ellensburg’s past, present, and future. You can find many art galleries, wineries, craft beer, and various local restaurants featuring local talent every day, with an influx on weekends and on the First Friday Art Walk which happens on… you guessed it, the first Friday of the month. Many of the artists lean towards blues, country, and folk so, with a glass of local wine from the Columbia Valley or a local craft beer from one of Ellensburg’s local breweries, you’ll be sure to feel like one of the friendliest locals in no time.
