Volunteers – teams, clubs, groups, businesses, students, and individuals - are needed to spend a couple of hours making a difference in our community. If you can pick up litter, push a broom, swing a shovel, or prep flower beds, your help is needed. There are jobs for all ages, abilities, and schedules to get the work done. Bring a friend; make new friends! Make a difference!

We are thrilled to bring you the latest news on the exciting mural additions & restorations happening right here in our beloved town. Ellensburg, Washington is known for its vibrant arts scene, and these mural restoration efforts are a testament to the town's commitment to preserving and showcasing its cultural heritage and the centennial Rodeo celebration.

As part of our efforts to promote the arts, the design committee within the EDA is launching a 'Call to Ellensburg Artists'. We encourage artists of all skill levels to submit their artwork for a chance to have their work featured on two murals in downtown Ellensburg.

This competition is a unique opportunity for artists to contribute to the cultural fabric of our town, while also gaining exposure and recognition for their work.

We want to extend a warm invitation to all of you to stop by and say hello at the Ellensburg Downtown Association (EDA). Our team is always here to greet you with a smile and answer any questions you may have about our town's development and progress.

At the EDA, we are dedicated to supporting local businesses, promoting the arts and culture, and creating a vibrant community that everyone can be proud of. We believe that by working together, we can build a brighter future for Ellensburg.

So whether you have a specific question about our events, want to learn more about our initiatives, or just want to chat with our friendly staff, we would love to see you. Our doors are always open, and we welcome you to stop in anytime.

Thank you for your continued support of the EDA and our mission to create a thriving downtown for all.
