![]() 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.
