Call for Artists: Oregon City Festival of the Arts 2023

For the seventh year, the Three Rivers Artist Guild is presenting an arts, culture and heritage event known as the Oregon City Festival of the Arts (OCFOTA). It will take place on August 12 and 13, 2023.

The event is now considered the premier art event in Oregon City. The Festival will be held at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive & Visitor Information Center located at 1726 Washington Street, Oregon City, OR 97045.

Hours of Operation are 10-5 both days.

In 2022 the festival drew over 6,000 attendees throughout the weekend. This event is free to the public.

Your point of contact is Lynda Orzen, president@threeriversartistguild.com.

This is a juried art show and sale open to residents of Oregon and Washington State. If interested, an application and a nonrefundable $25 jury fee are due no later than May 15, 2023. There is space for approximately 55 artists. If accepted, the booth fee is $150. This includes your booth space (10’ x 10’) and marketing for the event.

Please note: This is an outdoor event on the grass. Although we make every effort to find the most level and suitable booth spaces, not all locations are perfectly flat. There is no power available for the booths. Please note, we periodically experience inclement weather. The ground may be wet. Please be prepared for potential showers and wind.

No more than two artists may share a booth and art must be compatible. Both artists must be juried in and send in separate applications and jury fees. You will share the booth fee of $150.
