Local creativity abounds in three Juried Art Exhibits at the Shoreline Arts Festival

Shoreline Arts Festival's three Juried Art Exhibitions showcase and honor the creativity of hundreds of local artists on June 25 and 26 at the Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave NE. With artwork in nearly every medium, made by artists of all ages, there are definitely some masterpieces to behold, so don’t miss this opportunity to soak in some culture!

Be amazed by the work of the 250+ Pre-K through 12th grade students exhibiting in the Youth Art Exhibit and vote for your favorite piece to win the People's Choice Award. Plus, this year's exhibit will feature a special retrospective of longtime Youth Art participant, Sue Ellen Zhang, who is currently a Sophomore at Shorecrest High School. (see previous article)

Then, head on over to the two adult Juried Art Exhibitions, which feature an incredibly diverse collection of over 300 artworks from regional artists in the categories of 2D/3D art and photography. Over $2000 in cash and merchandise prizes will be awarded to the best of the bunch during the Awards Ceremony on Saturday at 10:30am on the Showmobile Outdoor Stage.

Note: Online registration for the adult Juried Art Exhibitions ends June 19, so there's still time to enter your art for a chance to win a portion of these awards … and sell your work commission free during the festival! Visit the Arts Council’s website for more information.
