WELCOME TO THE 56TH ANACORTES ARTS FESTIVAL

E

very summer, beautiful Anacortes welcomes visitors from all over the world to the Anacortes Arts Festival, a three-day celebration of art, music and food.

•

If you have never been to our Festival, we think you will be delighted to find amazing artists, fun entertainment and lots of great food and beverages to satisfy your cravings. If you’ve been coming for years, thank you, and I invite you to watch for these new or possibly new-to-you things as you wander the Festival:

The local businesses are proud to showcase our downtown community. We are grateful for our visitors, artists and all of our volunteers, who make this weekend the incredible celebration that it is.

It might take you all three days to explore almost 300 booths, a fine art show, three stages, four beer gardens, a youth area and all of the restaurants and businesses ready to greet you.

•

Watch for some really interesting new booth artisans. There are more than 50 new booths, plus many of our long-time favorites for you to explore and shop.

•

While you are at Arts at the Port, make sure to take in the works of this year’s Emerging Artists.

Our Fine Art Committee is working with four incredibly talented young artists to select their best body of work, as they make their regional art show debut.

•

When hunger strikes you at the Festival, you have some great food options. And, this year, don’t miss a stop at Food Truck Alley. With five trucks featuring gourmet to comfort food, you will surely find something to tickle your taste buds!

•

We are bringing the beach onto Commercial Avenue with world-class sand sculpting demonstrations. You’ll find these talented sand artists in our Working Studios.

In addition to really great new entertainers this year, don’t miss some of our favorite, incredibly talented locals including John Van Deusen, Old Town Tonic and Madison Campbell.

Just in case you are familiar with the Festival, but maybe not the behind-the-scenes of this weekend…we are a non-profit organization and every year, more than $60,000 generated by the Festival goes back into art programs in our schools and community.

Thank you for joining us. Thank you for helping us celebrate art. Thank you for helping us grow our giving, so we can continue to support vibrant art programs year-round.

With much appreciation, Meredith McIlmoyle Festival Director

Festival Dates: August 4 - 6, 2017 General Festival Hours Friday 10 – 7, Saturday 10 – 6, Sunday 10 - 5 See event sections of the guide, or visit www.AnacortesArtsFestival.com for complete information.

WORKING STUDIOS HIGHLIGHTS

Sand Sculptor Bert Adams founded Sand in the City in 1993. He is primarily a contest

organizer and teacher, who has started more competitions than anyone in the world. With a demanding schedule, Bert welcomes the opportunity to put organization aside and just sculpt.

Come watch a large-scale sand sculpture take shape over the Festival and see the process of this unique art.

PIANO-cortes is an exciting public art/music project in its second year. Pianos are painted by artists or teams of artists during the Festival, and then placed downtown for the month of August for public use. Teams include Anacortes High School art students (and teacher Carl Delutri), local artist Carla Seaton, and returning team Beth Smith, Molly Johnson and Wyndham Jackson.
