Literature Booth Application

Thank you for your interest in participating in the 2022 Silverton Art Festival's new Literature Booth!

Local and regional authors and illustrators will now be able to apply for placement at our Literature Booth, which will have tables and half-tables under a Festival-provided tent space. This is a great option for those who don't need a full booth setup. Participants may sell books, prints, zines, and original art related to their material, so long as these fit within their table space.

To apply for one of the spots at the Literature Booth, please follow the application instructions below. You will be asked to note your preference for either a full table or shared half table (8ft or 4ft, respectively). An application fee of $10 is required. Space is limited, so while we cannot guarantee everyone a full table, we will do out best to accommodate you!

Full table (8ft) -- $200
Half table (4ft) -- $100
Each full table includes two chairs.

Samples must be submitted by June 20th.

Please note that submission of your application and payment of application fee do not guarantee selection into the 2022 Art Festival.

Many thanks. We hope to see you at the Festival this summer!

​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.

SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE LITERATURE BOOTH

Jurors select authors and illustrators to participate based on a 2-4 page submitted sample of prose, comics, illustrations, etc.. Jurors include individuals with experience as working artists, authors, and festival directors. Jury selection is based on technical proficiency, individual style/personal vision and originality, as well as the spectrum of work represented in the Literature Booth as a whole. There is a non-refundable application fee of $10.00 to be included with the application.
