About Us
Mission: 

The mission of the Grünewald Guild is to welcome and inspire all who seek to explore the relationships between art, faith & community.

Programs: 

The Grünewald Guild is an arts education nonprofit retreat center nestled on 14 acres of Cascadian woodland, bordered by the Wenatchee River in the Plain Valley of Washington. Snowcapped peaks, rushing waters and sweet-smelling ponderosa pine welcome, inspire, and create an environment in which people come to learn, to grow, and to explore the relationships between art, faith, and community.

In order to facilitate and serve as a resource for this exploration, the Guild offers art classes and workshops in our studios and contemplative spaces. When there is no scheduled programming, our facilities are available to be booked by groups or individuals for retreats, personal study, workshops, reunions, etc.

Core staff members both live and work at the Guild. This meaningful and ongoing community supports the sacred space for creativity. While rooted in an ecumenical Christian faith, the Guild embraces people of all journeys and traditions, recognizing the rich fullness that comes with hospitality that practices mutual respect, ensures safety, and develops trust.

Why Work For Us?: 

The Grünewald Guild believes in the transformational power of the arts.  In support of this value, we provide a nurturing environment for creative discovery and artistic expression.

Rooted in the ecumenical Christian tradition, the Grünewald Guild welcomes seekers of all faith backgrounds, and respects the diverse spiritual paths that often lead to our open door.

Life in community is at the heart of the Grünewald Guild – a foundation for inspiration.  Guests, volunteers, and staff alike engage in shared experiences of creative expression, rest, work, play and reflection.

At the Grünewald Guild, our staff and volunteers take pride in offering genuine hospitality; ensuring our guests are cared for in a friendly manner, nourished by healthy food, in a clean, comfortable, welcoming environment.

The Grünewald Guild practices sustainability.  This value is embodied through attention to caring for the earth and her gifts, and through sound financial practices and thoughtful stewardship of the gifts of time, talent and financial resources that are offered by a vast community of love and support.
