Covid update: Due to rising Covid cases in Wallowa County and the new masks orders from the Oregon Health Authority, we will not be able to produce this year’s Wallowa Valley Festival of Arts as planned.

In order to do this in the safest way possible, the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture will dial back many of the events for the weekend.

juried fine art show with displays of original
art in a variety of media - painting, drawing,
photography sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, fiber.
Artists from anywhere are welcome to participate. Opening Friday Night lineup includes a stimulating display of fine art, live music, awards, interaction with the artists, hors d’oeuvres, wine tasting, door prizes, and a lovely hand-painted wine glass to take home.
