WHO WE ARE
Nimbus Arts is a community-owned 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2005 with the mission of giving the Napa Valley Community access to art. We are dedicated to nurturing curiosity, fostering creative expression, and building a sense of community. In addition to on-site classes and camps, open studios, and lectures, we offer free public events, community service programs, classes in public and private schools, and collaborative art projects throughout Napa County.
WE BELIEVE
Art inspires and enriches lives. Art should be available to everyone. It is essential to reach the underserved community. A multi-disciplinary approach to art promotes curiosity and learning. Artists are vital to our community. Art brings people together.
HOW WE BEGAN
When founder Dana Johnson’s young daughter had to spend a week at a children’s hospital, the availability of compelling art projects in the hospital playroom made the days endurable by helping the whole family focus on making something beautiful, allowing them to forget the stress of the situation and giving them a way to connect with one another. After her daughter recovered, Dana wanted to share the transformative experience she had with art and was convinced that creative experiences should be available to everyone: toddlers, children, teens, adults, and elders.This was the inspiration for Nimbus Arts,which Dana founded in 2005 with Jamie Graff.
