Luminous Layers: Exploring Contemporary Encaustic

The 47th Annual Festival of the Arts will host this special exhibit in Lake Oswego, a suburb of Portland, Oregon on June 25, 26, 27, 2010. Attracting more than 22,000 people, this three-day celebration also features a performing art series, music in the park, special hands-on art exhibits, and a children’s art and performance venue.

Each year the festival showcases a different type of art for its cornerstone Special Exhibit. Its mission is to display quality artwork and to educate guests about a particular art form.

Our featured artists will be Jeff Schaller and Cari Hernandez. This Special Exhibit will also feature workshops and educational displays.

A $25.00 entry fee is required for up to three works and the deadline for entries is February 1, 2010. Jurors are Tom Burns of Artworks Magazine, Kristina Butters of Butters Gallery in Portland, Oregon, and encaustic painter Cari Hernandez.
