Welcome to the 52nd Open Show at the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts! Please join us in creating a memorable and unique art world for Lake Oswego and the surrounding communities. The Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts Open Show is one of the largest non-juried art exhibitions on the West Coast. Though the Open Show is large, I seek to create intimate art moments that celebrate each unique artist’s vision.
This year I will, again, create micro galleries within the Open Show Tent that encourage visitors to pause and experience pieces individually. The exhibition design will carefully consider special placement for each artwork so that every artist’s voice can be heard. The Open Show accepts a maximum of seven works per artists; please adopt an editorial gaze of your work and decide which seven pieces are most representative of your creative process. I look forward to seeing you in June. Thank you!
