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.

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.

Thes are a few pix from my recent residency at Camas High School. The art teacher there Gina Mariotti wanted a working encaustic studio after taking a workshop with Elise Wagner. Now she is set up to teach 30 kids at a time!
