WACA invites artists to apply for festival

The Washougal Arts and Culture Alliance is inviting artists to apply for the 2026 Washougal Art Festival.

The festival, to be held Aug. 1 at Reflection Plaza, 1703 Main St., Washougal, is “a juried event focusing on bringing artists and those interested in art together in a fun, festival atmosphere,” according to WACA.

“As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Washougal Arts and Music Festival, we’re excited to welcome artists from across the Pacific Northwest to be part of this milestone year,” WACA President Janice Ferguson said in a news release. “This festival has grown into a vibrant celebration of creativity, music, and community, and we invite artists to share their work, connect with fellow creatives, and be part of something special in Washougal.”

WACA is seeking established and emerging artists working in all mediums, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, textiles, jewelry, photography and mixed media.

All entries will be juried based on originality, creativity, craftsmanship and professionalism, as well as the artist’s vision, cohesive style and mastery of their chosen medium, according to the news release.
