Imagination takes center stage at the 61st Lake Oswego Arts Festival June 21-23, creating an immersive, inspiring experience for the community. Here are some highlights:
THE IMAGINATION MENAGERIE. Experience what children’s imaginations have inspired in this collection of whimsical creatures and abstract realms. Students in grades K-8 were invited to draw an imaginary animal. Professional artists were then enlisted to reinterpret the animal in their own style. Visitors can immerse themselves in this fantastical collection and learn how to stay inspired throughout the year.
OPEN HEARTS BIG DREAMS BOOK PROJECT. Witness this collaborative effort of invited artists and the Open Hearts Big Dreams organization as artists illustrate Ethiopian dances, resulting in a colorful, culturally appropriate book that will be sent to Ethiopians eager to read. Artists will be on site to autograph the books.
ART IN THE PARK. The fine arts show in George Rogers Park will feature new and returning artists from long-standing traditions, contemporary styles and newly emerging artists of all mediums.
MY HAPPY PLACE. The Small Works Show challenges artists to illustrate their Happy Place, both real and imagined, and visitors are invited to be inspired.
THE JOAN SAPPINGTON YOUTH GALLERY. Witness the debut of ten students as professional artists in this unique exhibit on the main floor of the Lakewood Center.
YOUTH EXHIBIT. Be reminded of the creative spirit of our youth as students from across the region display their work downstairs in the Lakewood Center.
OPEN SHOW ALL STARS. A new exhibit this year highlights 13 talented artists displaying their best creations in the hallway of the Lakewood Center.
OPEN SHOW. Find your next treasure under the big white pavilion tent in Lakewood’s parking lot, featuring over 100 artists and artists representing local nonprofits.
ENTERTAINMENT. From jazz, blues and rock on stage at George Rogers Park to a performance of Robin Hood by the Missoula Children’s Theatre, the entertainment lineup offers something for everyone.
