Submit Artwork to the Youth Art Exhibition

Applications are now available online at the Shoreline Arts Council website for the Shoreline Arts Festival Youth Art Exhibition.

There is no fee to enter! All students living in the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park area in grades Pre-K through 12 are encouraged to register up to two of their favorite 2D, 3D, or photographic works through the Arts Council's website and bring them to the Shoreline Center on Tuesday, June 19th, 4:00-7:00pm. 

Each work MUST have an identifying label affixed to it. The Center is located at 18560 1st Ave NE. Work is juried for prizes and all entries are displayed during the Shoreline Arts Festival on June 23 & 24. Plus, up to ten of these pieces will be selected for the Shoreline School District's 2018-2019 calendar.

Audition for the Missoula Children’s Theatre

Group auditions for the Missoula Children's Theatre production of the "Pied Piper" will be held on Monday, June 18 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm (auditions begin promptly at 4pm, no late students are accepted) in the Shoreline Room of the Shoreline Center. 

Approximately 60 local students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade will be cast to appear in the show. There is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play, but with upwards of 60 roles available, there's room for many performers. Students wishing to audition must arrive by the scheduled starting time and stay for the entire two-hour session. The first rehearsal begins approximately 30 minutes after the audition. There is no fee for kids to audition. If your child is selected, you will be asked to pay the registration fee of $90 directly after the audition.

If your young thespian is interested in auditioning, please register them through our website.

Avoid the stress of parking by taking the Free Arts Festival Shuttle. The shuttle will run in a loop stopping at the Shoreline Farmers Market, then Meridian Park Elementary, and end at the Shoreline Center every 20 minutes during festival hours (Saturday, June 23 9:30am-6:30pm and Sunday, June 24 9:30am-5:30pm). 

Look for the sandwich signs with yellow balloons, that’s where the shuttle will pick you up. Thank you to Shoreline Community College for providing this service.

The Shoreline Arts Festival is a program of the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council with major support from the City of Shoreline, City of Lake Forest Park, and 4Culture.
