Our volunteers

Onyx Fine Arts Collective thanks our Artists, Donors, Board of Directors, Volunteers, and Consulting Advisors for their dedication to our mission and the arts. Onyx could in no way manage the tremendous growth of the last 17 years and sustain our presence in the Pacific Northwest arts community without their contributions of time, donations, skill, knowledge, ​talent, and resources. Thank You All!
