97116 Art Show

Discover a huge range of local creativity at the 97116 Art Show, a three-day pop-up exhibition featuring 144 artists from Washington, Columbia, and Yamhill counties. The annual show was started in 2018 by artists April Hoff and Emily Lux and is designed to make local art approachable, affordable, and accessible to the wider community. 97116artshow.com

The 2026 show takes place at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery at Pacific University in Forest Grove. Opening night is Friday, November 20 from 6–10 p.m., followed by weekend gallery hours Saturday and Sunday from noon–4 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to come early on opening night for the best selection. 97116artshow.com

The exhibit features hundreds of pieces of affordable artwork from local artists, with work available for purchase during the show. The event uses a simple “grab, pay, and go” format, allowing visitors to take purchased artwork home without waiting for the exhibition to close. 97116artshow.com

The show welcomes artists of all ages and skill levels and is intentionally focused on supporting local, emerging, underrepresented, and unconventional creative voices. Organizers describe the event as more than an art sale—it is also about tradition, community, and making art feel welcoming rather than exclusive. 97116artshow.com
