The mission of Burien Arts Association is to engage, enrich and entertain all the communities, generations and visitors to the Burien and Greater Highline area through creative and innovative arts programming. The non-profit was founded in the 1960s, started Burien’s annual Strawberry Festival, and for years operated a gallery in the little blue house at Dottie Harper Park.
