The fifth annual Fern Prairie ART FEST, a two-day event connecting local artists and the community, is set to take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3-4, at Shangri-La Farm, located a little more than one mile north of Lacamas Lake, just outside the city limits of Camas.
This year’s juried ART FEST will feature nine artists.
“These fine artists are excited to show and sell their work at ART FEST,” said organizer and local artist Liz Pike, who will show her own work at the event and be joined by artists Bev Birdwell, Matthew Clarkson, Cheryl Folkers, Dave Garbot, David Gerton, Charlene Hale, Gail Haskett and Keith Russell. Original work includes paintings in oils, acrylics and watercolor, pastels, mixed media, hand-built pottery, fused and enamel glass, jewelry, pen and ink, and copper mixed media.
The public is invited to take in original works of art surrounded by the gardens at Shangri-La Farm. Attendees will park at rented Grove Field Airport parking lot, 632 N.E. 267th Ave., Camas. Guests may either walk the one-fourth mile trail through the woods to Shangri-La Farm or take the free “Sunflower Mobile” shuttle service. The Sunflower Mobile is an art piece all on its own, hand painted by Pike in oils on fiberglass in her signature sunflower motif. The free shuttle will be available to transport attendees from the airport parking lot to Shangri-La Farm on both days, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce is operating a beer and wine garden starting at noon both days with proceeds benefiting Chamber programs. Diamond Dogs will be selling its gourmet dogs and snacks next to the Chamber’s beer and wine garden.
