27th Annual Festival of Arts

“I came here as a juror last year, knowing little about
Joseph and even less about the art community…. The
amount of outstanding art work that finds its way to the
Community Center is amazing.  Coupled with the activities
like the opening night celebration (what a party!), the art
demonstrations and the musical events, made the whole
week a fabulous experience.  I left with warm feelings and
memories of new friends and an admiration for all those
wonderful people who work so hard to put on one of
Oregon’s finest Art events. CONGRATUALTIONS!”
-Paul Missal, Juror, 2008
