What's New at the 2026 Silverton Arts Festival?

On the main stage we will shine a spotlight on local talent! More than half of this year's performers are from Silverton or have deep roots in the community, including talented youth performers from Silverton High School and budding stars from Soundstream Studio Music.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can watch artists in action during live demonstrations, including painting, ceramics, live model drawing, and—for the first time—a live welding demonstration by Silverton artist Beth Lau.

Of course, the heart of the festival remains its outstanding artists. More than 77 creators will showcase work in painting, ceramics, jewelry, woodworking, photography, fiber arts, glass, sculpture, and more, offering something for every taste and budget.

This year's festival has also received tremendous support from local businesses and community partners. We're especially grateful to the Andrew Ulven Trust, Dr. Amy Zastrow, and our many sponsors whose generosity helps make this community celebration possible.

Join us August 22–23 and experience the art, music, food, and community spirit that make the Silverton Arts Festival one of Oregon's favorite summer traditions.

HIRING YOUTH TEACHERS!

Youth Art Teacher — SFSD and Silverton Art Center

The Silverton Arts Association seeks to expand its roster of art teachers to provide lessons to Silver Fall School District K-8 schools throughout the 2026-2027 school year and beyond!

If you’re passionate about teaching children, love art, and are interested in working with our great team of teachers and volunteer leaders here at Silverton Arts, we want to hear from you! Being an artist is a plus, but experience and positivity around working with children is of primary importance!

Pay is $35/hr for SFSD class sessions, with some additional paid time for lesson prep/cleanup. Our teachers can typically expect between 30-50 sessions per school year.

We’re also expanding our youth programs this year at the Silverton Art Center, so there’s potential for more teacher hours if you’d like to be considered for after school and Art Center youth programming!

To apply, please fill out this intake form and send a resume to: info@silvertonarts.org

Thank you!
