At Lakewood Center for the Arts
+ George Rogers Park
The Festival of the Arts is FREE!
At Lakewood Center for the Arts, a non-profit, we've worked hard to keep it that way. And while we love our major sponsors, they do not fully fund the Festival. Any money we make over our $350,000 a year operating cost goes to projects at Lakewood, such as Youth Outreach or theatre productions.
Our 2025 Calls to Artists are beginning to open! The Festival provides opportunities to artists at all stages in their careers- including emerging and youth artists! Check back often as exhibit applications open throughout the year.
Founded in 1963, the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts is an annual arts education program hosted by Lakewood Center for the Arts, traditionally held at Lakewood Center and George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
We proudly honor exceptional talent with awards across all our exhibits. By becoming a Festival Award Sponsor, you play a pivotal role in nurturing artists of all levels and mediums.
