I'm really looking forward to being a part of the Wild Arts Festival again. This popular festival will be at a new spacious location at Portland State University’s Viking Pavilion this year. Stroll through this vast, airy, light-filled space and find the perfect gift or something to delight yourself, with proceeds benefiting Portland Audubon’s education and conservation efforts.

Presented by Backyard Bird shop, the Wild Arts Festival boasts dozens of artists including jewelry designers, painters, printmakers and sculptors, plus glass, wood, fiber art and ceramic artists.

Meet impressive Northwest authors scheduled to autograph books from Noon to 4 p.m. each day. You’ll find some of the best local and regional authors specializing in nature, birds, hiking, history, books for kids, and books that illuminate living in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.

Celebrating Safely The health and safety of everyone at the Festival is our top priority. We have implemented safety protocols including requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative PCR test and mask wearing to ensure the event is as safe as possible. Timed entry tickets also provide more opportunity to spread out in the large pavilion and enjoy the Festival comfortably. The Pavilion has extremely high ceilings and is nearly 34,000 square feet of open space.

Silent Auction The auction is both in person and online this year. You’ll discover beautiful framed pictures, jewelry and outdoor gear, plus gift certificates for vacation lodging and other experiences. Get a bidder number, make your bid, and cross your fingers – you might win, you might get a bargain! If you’re looking for a perfect holiday gift, you may find it here.
