Art lovers who gravitate toward smaller pieces of artwork by local artists may want to head to downtown Camas this weekend for the 2025 Little Art Camas event.

The annual, two-day community art exhibit features small-scale artwork created by Camas-area artists of all ages and skill levels.

The art will be sold during Little Art Camas, which runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at Fuel Medical Group, 314 N.E. Birch St., in downtown Camas.

Each participating artist has created three “little panels” that will be sold during the exhibition for $20 apiece with proceeds supporting public art in downtown Camas.

Tickets to the art exhibition will cost $5 at the door. Children ages 12 and younger can attend for free.

The event also will feature live music by local musician Bret Malmquist, drinks, snacks and a silent art auction on Friday.

“This event celebrates local art, providing artists a place to showcase their creativity and making art accessible to all,” the Downtown Camas Association noted on its website. For more information about the 2025 Little Art Camas event, visit downtowncamas.com/event/littleartcamas.
