Art in the Pearl

The 29th annual Art In The Pearl Fine Arts & Crafts Festival takes place Labor Day weekend Saturday, August 30 through Monday, September 1. The show is located in the North Park Blocks of the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon. 130 exceptional visual artists have been selected to exhibit by an independent jury panel comprised of both working artists and art professionals. The Emerging Artist Program provides regional artists in the early stage of their art career an opportunity to gain experience marketing and showing their work. In addition to the exhibiting artists, the show offers art education, demonstrations and performance art.

 Art In The Pearl is a nonprofit organization founded and produced by a dedicated volunteer board of directors composed of local professional artists. Our focus is on promoting the arts, educating the public and strengthening creative and educational bonds with the community. A third of Art In The Pearl's budget is spent on marketing, and cultivating relationships and partnerships with local businesses to publicize and promote this well-loved long-standing festival.
