Since 1986, the Cannon Beach Arts Association was founded with the intent to enhance the vitality of the arts in Cannon Beach and the surrounding area.

Our Mission

The Cannon Beach Arts Association (CBAA) is located in Cannon Beach, on the scenic north Oregon coast. A 501(3)(c)nonprofit organization, CBAA was founded with the intent to bring a wide variety of programs to members of our community and to visitors to the Pacific Northwest coast. CBAA programs also provide opportunities for over 200 artists each year.


Having a business model that doesn’t put profit first can do something incredible for the artist community.
