Artist Prospectus 2022
You are invited to apply for acceptance to the 22nd Annual Silverton Art Festival, to be held August 20 & 21, 2022 in Silverton, Oregon.
Our goal for this festival is to celebrate the virtuoso talents of our finest local and regional artists, as well as to provide the public and our selected exhibitors with a show of the highest quality. The site, historic Coolidge-McClaine Park in the heart of Silverton, on the banks of Silver Creek, is a beautiful area surrounded by towering oak and Douglas-fir trees. It is a popular summer gathering place and a wonderful setting for the festival. Silverton area artists, art patrons, and community leaders involved in event planning are committed to providing pre-event and on-site service for all selected participants. We are further committed to quality marketing focused on art communities and major populations within a 50-mile radius (including Portland, Salem and Vancouver, WA). The Silverton Arts Festival is within easy (and scenic) driving distance of Oregon’s metropolitan areas, and is adjacent to the Oregon Garden and Silver Falls State Park. This show has established an excellent reputation for both quality of art and entertainment and hands-on activities for both children and adults, and encourages an atmosphere of conviviality between festival attendees and participating artists.

Rules, Regulations & Miscellaneous Information
The festival is open to all artists and craftspeople producing original work. Artists collaborating on work should note so on the application. Two artists may share a booth if both are accepted by the jury. Both artists, however, must submit separate applications. All artists must staff their booth for the duration of the festival. Art booth hours are Saturday from 10 am – 6 pm and Sunday from 10 am – 5 pm.
Reproductions of original work, such as posters, and cards, may be sold, but may not occupy more than 15% of the total booth space. Commercially produced work from kits or imported art and goods may not be exhibited. Hand-pulled prints and photographs in signed and numbered limited editions will be accepted as original work under the appropriate category.
Artwork Booths
Each exhibitor is provided a space that measures 10’x10’ (for a single booth), with a separation between booths. Artists must provide their own booths, racks and tables, in order to display their work in an outdoor environment. Booth spaces run along paved paths in the park, which is grassy and generally shady. Please leave your pets at home. As some booth locations are not level, exhibitors are advised to bring leveling devices as needed. There are a limited number of double booths available on a first come, first served basis. Booth fees are $225 for a 10’x10’ or $425 for a 10’x20’. No commission will be collected on sales.
Silverton Art Festival will make every attempt to safeguard the artists’ work and property, but liability is ultimately the responsibility of the artist. Overnight security will be provided. As a precaution, it is recommended that artists remove valuables each evening.
