GRESHAM, Ore. – The 21st annual Gresham Arts Festival will be held on Saturday, July 15 from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. at the Gresham Arts Plaza located at 488 Northeast 3rd Street, Gresham. The City of Gresham invites the community to meet, browse, and shop from a select group of juried Pacific Northwest artisans ranging from painters, potters, and sculptors to woodworkers, photographers, jewelers, and more. This free community event also features live music and cultural performances all day, plus over 100 shops and restaurants downtown.

This year, the Arts Festival also includes the Rising Artists corner to support talented local youth artisans as well as a Local Legends corner for more than 20 Gresham-based artists.
