Our Summer Give Back Partner: 4-H
July-September 2023: Nuwave / Fortuity is giving back to our community by supporting 4-H of Kittitas County.
4-H strives to create a world in which youth and adults learn, grow, and work together as catalysts for positive change, empowering young people to become productive citizens meeting the needs of a diverse and changing society. 4-H accomplishes their mission through community building and hands-on project based learning focused on what youth are passionate about; everything from animals to art, baking to bugs, robotics to recurve archery, and more! Learn about what they do in the community and how you can help!
In a recent survey, youth 4-H members in Kittitas County said that 4-H...
Inspires them to volunteer in their community (94%)
Helps them identify things that they are good at (94%)
Gives them a chance to be a leader (94%)
Allows them to teach others what they’ve learned (96%)
Is a place where they get to figure things out for themselves (92%)
How might you be different if you have never been involved in 4-H?
“I would not be able to present publicly to the capacity that I am able to because of 4-H, and I would not be able to lead a group like I can now.” – Kittitas County 4-H member, 13-yr-old

The Nuwave Community Wall was born out of owner Erin Oostra’s desire to give back to the community paired with inspiring all members of the community to get creative. It is located on the back left wall of the gallery. This is where people can drop off an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of artwork to go on display. “There are 21 frames that open from the front to accommodate art that will be interchangeable,” she said. “Basically anyone, whether you’re 5 or 95, can drop off artwork.
“The art will then be considered a donation in the care of Nuwave Gallery. We will choose a local art-related nonprofit to donate to along with the Fortuity Tasting Room. Two dollars from each of our limited edition art-focused Fortuity bottle sales, along with a portion of all Nuwave art sales proceeds will be donated to that cause.”
The summer quarter donations will be going to 4-H. The monetary and in-kind donations will go toward supporting the program and the children in this period through art and educational supplies.
As an added bonus, there’s a Creative Table placed right in front of the wall if you want to come in and work on any creative project while hanging out at the gallery. There are even art kits available on location to purchase and create with.
So when supporting Nuwave Gallery, you can count on the fact that your purchase will benefit both the local and global community because giving back is one of Nuwave’s core values. Erin Oostra’s mission is to create a space for people to gather and support those who help make our communities better.
