“I believe in the power of art to inspire and connect us. I founded Nimbus Arts to bring art to more people. It is both an honor and a source of ongoing wonder to see all the ways that art makes us think, brings us joy, and makes the world a better place.”
Dana Johnson, Nimbus Arts Co-Founder and Board President
“In any discussion about Napa Valley culture, the first two words that invariably come up are “wine” and “food.” But there’s a third dimension to the region- the arts- that has been steadily expanding in scope and inspiring residents and visitors to enjoy and embrace their creative side. At the forefront of this cultural dimension is Nimbus Arts!”
North Bay Bohemian, May 2017

“Art is a powerful healer! Immediately after the valley wildfires that devastated our community. Nimbus responded by providing community mosaic events, which they do so incredibly well. We cherish and support these important activities which renew our spirits and strengthen the bonds that build and inspire community.”
