Hours of Operation are 10-5 each day. OCFOTA draws an attendance of approximately 2000 throughout the weekend. This event is free to the public.

As with so many events over the past year, things will be a little different.  We will be following COVID restrictions and the OHA guidelines very closely for Safety. This includes: An outdoor event with one entrance in and one entrance out, masks required and given to those who do not have them, hand sanitizers and gloves at every booth, maps and footprints directing traffic, and crowd monitors.

Your point of contact is Trieste Andrews at ocfota@threeriversartistguild.com.

This is a juried art show open to residents of Oregon and Washington State.  If interested, an application and a nonrefundable $25 jury fee application is due no later than May 31, 2021. We have space for approximately 55 artists this year.

If accepted, the booth fee is $135. This includes your booth space (10’ x 10’) and marketing for the Oregon City Festival of the Arts.

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. Also, 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 or wind.

No more than two artists may share a booth and art must be compatible.  Both must be juried in and send in separate applications and jury fees. You will share the booth fee of $135.
