Join us for one final First Friday celebration at Nuwave Gallery and Fortuity Ellensburg.

After several incredible years of art, community gatherings, and shared glasses of wine, this evening will be a joyful sendoff as Erin Oostra closes the gallery chapter, prepares for a summer of travel, and eventually makes her way to Colorado to begin her next adventure.

The gallery walls are currently filled with the largest collection of Erin’s artwork ever shown at once, and everything must find a home. Many pieces are part of the silent auction, and bidding officially ends at 7:00 PM during the event. If you have had your eye on a piece, this is truly the last chance to place your bid or purchase artwork outright before the collection disappears into new homes.

Expect major art deals, wine specials, live music, and a lively crowd as we celebrate the community that helped make this space so special.

We will also raise a final toast together at 7:30 PM to mark the moment.

While this marks the end of the Wine + Art tasting room chapter in Ellensburg, Fortuity Cellars will continue to operate its winery and tasting room in the Yakima Valley, just 48 minutes down the road. You will also continue to see Fortuity wines at pop-up events around Ellensburg and on the menus of many local restaurants and wine shops. Ellensburg remains important to Fortuity, so you'll see Lee & Emily host more intentional, connected events here!

Come celebrate, place your final bids, grab a great piece of art, enjoy a glass of wine, take home a discounted bottle and help us send this chapter off in style.
