The Edmonds Arts Festival 2019 is a fun filled event held every year over Father's Day Weekend.  The annual benefit that supports the arts in the Edmonds community starts on Wednesday, June 12, 6 pm.  This is a a kick off Art + Cocktails Benefit Party where you can be among the first to view and purchase jury-selected and award-winning art!  Proceeds go to scholarships for art education, and grants for art programs and public art.

This is such a fun festival with artists' booths outside, and three juried galleries inside.  There is food, music, dance and activities for the kids!  In the galleries inside the Frances Anderson Center you'll find paintings, drawings and miniature art, photography, computer art and three dimensional work. This year the work is mixed together in all three of the rooms, so don't miss the work located in the two rooms a few steps up.  Also, you can find the excellent student art show downstairs.

The Edmonds Arts Festival is one of the longest running in the Northwest, attracting artists from across the nation. Profits from the Edmonds Arts Festival are returned to the community through the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation.

If you get a chance to go, don't forget to visit the inside galleries.  Check out my work, The Exchange in the upstairs gallery!  All artwork is for sale.  Remember, art makes a fine Fathers' Day Gift!  Happy Fathers' Day to all you Fathers out there! As always, thank you for taking the time to read about my work.  Enjoy your summer!
