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.
