Westminster Festival of Fine Art
Thanks to all for a fabulous Festival!
Celebrating Artistry Together
Join us at the Westminster Festival of Fine Arts held annually every October at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Salem, Oregon. Experience a showcase of talented artists across various mediums and participate in our efforts to promote this spectacular event.
A Successful 36th Anniversary Festival
The Fine Arts Committee would like to thank everyone involved in making our 36th Annual Festival of Fine Art a smashing success. We were blessed with a preponderance of talent, from the gifted artists who displayed their work, to the volunteers who devoted hundreds of hours in production to the gifted musicians who highlighted each day of the Festival.
​
THE FUTURE
Our Festival co-chairs are retiring this year, and we are seeking art-loving producers who might consider taking our beloved festival into it's 37th year. If you are interested, please contact Sheila at wpcfafestival@gmail.com.
​
In the meanwhile, we applaud our artists, our beautiful community and Westminster Presbyterian Church for supporting us throughout the years. Cheers!
