Good Things to Come

We are pleased to share that the Silverton Art Association is moving ahead in 2021 with our Art Festival (August 21-22) and with some exciting new offerings for our community. 

Over the last year, when Covid forced our Association to scale back and retool, a clear goal that emerged was to welcome a more diverse group of artists and artistic practices — to better represent the variety of arts thriving in and around our town. Silverton is home not only to excellent painters, sculptors, and musicians, but professional filmmakers, graphic novelists, tattoo artists, and a growing number of youth who will take such practices even further. So, this year, the Silverton Arts Association is beginning several new projects to support and promote our arts community — in all its beautiful forms! Among these are:

  • Fresh workshops and classes for children, teens, and adults in subjects like: documentary film, character design, printmaking, graphic novels, and more
  • A showcase of local short films to kick off the summer festival
  • Music, film, theatre, poetry, and more at a planned outdoor stage by the Silverton Arts Building
  • Live streamed classes and lectures using our new audio/video suite

We welcome you as friends, neighbors, and visitors to be a part of our arts community, and to share with Silverton and the broader world your unique gifts. Let’s build something beautiful together!

​
​We have all been impacted by the current world pandemic and here at Silverton Arts Association we are not immune to those struggles.  With your help we can continue to nurture, exhibit, inform, and promote appreciation and practice of the arts in the greater Silverton area.  Your donations will help us achieve our mission now and in the future.  ​
