Hey arts lovers;

Last month the Silverton Arts Association board of directors and I gathered for our annual retreat, hosted by Confluence Arts Center in Scotts Mills. This beautiful, functional space in the middle of a vineyard was the perfect setting for our group to roll up our sleeves and map out our future vision for the organization. Thanks again to Confluence for having us!

What’s the #1 question I get asked as Director of SAA?

“Is the Silverton Arts Festival Coming Back???”

And I’m so happy to announce that YES, the Silverton arts festival IS coming back in 2026!

Want to join us for an informal meeting about our plans for next year? Join us for a Zoom meeting Monday September 29 at 7pm.

To get added to the Zoom invite, send an email to info@silvertonarts.org and put “add me to the arts festival invite” in the subject line. Date is still TBD but we should be announcing in the next month so stay tuned!

Holiday Tree lot partner wanted!

We are excited to help create more holiday magic in Silverton by hosting a holiday tree lot at the Silverton Arts Association from Thanksgiving through Christmas. We are hoping to find a local tree grower that is interested in operating a small lot in an ideal location and working with us to create additional holiday magic with crafts, giftmaking classes, holiday workshops, cocoa bars and more. If you are interested in partnering with us check out the RFP here and send in your proposals/response by September 20.

CAMPS, CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS!

Have an awesome, art-filled rest of your summer and see you at the Silverton Film Festival!

Tomi Douglas, Director
Silverton Arts Association
