Wild Arts Festival
As with all Bird Alliance of Oregon programs and events this year, we will be taking the 2020 Wild Arts Festival virtual! Learn more by visiting the Wild Arts Festival website.
Join us from November 14 – 22 to celebrate the 40th year of the Festival, featuring art, authors, and an auction. This year’s free virtual event will highlight 50 artists, 20 authors, and a robust silent auction—all taking place online. Presented again by Backyard Bird Shop, expect this year’s festival to be filled with the same warmth and delight you’ve become accustomed to (only virtually)!
How the Virtual Festival Works
Buy Art and Books on Our Online Marketplace
Just in time for the holiday season, choose from a vast array of art and books on our online marketplace. With paintings, photography, ceramics, jewelry, fiber arts, sculpture, nonfiction, children’s books, and so much more, you’ll find something (or many things) you love! Click to get a preview of our artists and authors! And make sure to stay tuned for details on live author readings.
RSVP for Our Virtual 40th Celebration
Join us on Saturday, November 14 at 5 p.m. to celebrate the 40th Wild Arts Festival! We’ll look back at our 40 year history of the Festival and you’ll have the opportunity to bid on unique art items in a “live auction”.

This pair of Swarovski EL 10×42 “Swarobright” binoculars, valued at $2,100, could be yours. We’ll be selling 400 tickets at $25 each on wildartsfestival.org so you have a very good chance to win these incredible optics! Raffle tickets will be available November 11-22 or until we sell out.
