Inaugural Goldrush Art Festival
May 1, 2 and 3, 2009
Join us at Gold Beach, Oregon's newest gem, the Goldrush Center, and at venues around town, for a weekend celebrating art with free exhibitions of the finest works from south coast artists and beyond.
The Festival highlight will be a national, juried art competition, open to all paint artists, with over $3,000 in awards, including a grand prize of $1,000. Several venues will offer a coordinated schedule of demonstrations, educational lectures and art instruction; a ticketed Saturday night gala awards reception will showcase magnificent art, along with the best of local cuisine and refreshments.
It’s our first annual celebration of art in the midst of the supreme natural beauty of the south coast, with its dramatic seascapes, pristine beaches, and wild rivers!
