Born and raised in Oregon, surrounded by beautiful scenery, lush plants and a love for color, nothing can put a smile on my face like a bouquet of flowers. I love the vibrancy, the smell, and the warmth it brings to a home. I love how we give flowers for any occasion; forgiveness, celebration, sorrow, and of course love. Flowers are the keys to many hearts, and I hope to unlock some through my paintings!

Does my business need a special event to participate?

No, you can just list your business and its regular hours, address, services, etc.

Does my business need to be in Forest Grove?

Yes, we’re the 97116 Art Show and interested in boosting public engagement and tourism in Forest Grove. If your business zip code is 97116, you’re welcome to participate.

Is it really free?

Yes, you can list on our site free! Each year businesses can sponsor to be on the poster, the deadline is Oct 15. Limited to 4 businesses, $50 poster sponsorship. Email 97116artshow.com to inquire.

Does my business need to be a brick and mortar?

No, but think about how you will engage the public for non-physical spaces and list that!

May my business list events leading up to that weekend?

Yes, but most of our audience will see Paint the Town advertised for the weekend. However, do keep it to the week leading up to the art show opening Nov 21st. Did your event already happen but the items are still for sale? List that! Thinking of your ornaments, A Framer’s Touch.

Is my business allowed more than one listing?

Yes, you may list multiple events that may be happening that weekend, or your extended hours separately from an “event.” Maybe you just want to list an item or service special you’ll have for the weekend. We’re pretty flexible and will let you know if it seems something doesn’t fit.

What if I make a mistake on my listing?

Simply revisit the form page and list again, then email us at 97116artshow@gmail.com to remove the incorrect listing. If it’s not obvious which is correct, give us an identifying descriptor in your message.

Do my hours need to match the 97116 Art Show?

No, you don’t have to match our hours. We open Nov 21st with the reception 6:00-10:00PM. Then the exhibit is open Saturday and Sunday 12:00 – 4:00PM. Your hours may be whatever you like, extended or regular.

Is there a Paint the Town game this year?

No. We found the last year not many people participated and only a couple of businesses shared how it went for them. Instead of expending the effort for a complicated game, we encourage businesses to have their own giveaways to collect marketing info or traffic. Or not.

Why is 97116 Art Show only one weekend?

Our show is usually only one weekend because it creates a sense of urgency for viewers and shoppers, plus our volunteers don’t have unlimited time to host and sell the art. We have chosen the third weekend in November for a few reasons. It’s the peak start to holiday shopping and artists who create toward demand are accustomed to making work available during bazaar season. Some of us need a deadline to create new work 😉 We also didn’t want to compete with Valley Art’s long established Annual Artist Event opening the week before our show.

97116 Paint the Town is a citywide Forest Grove event during 97116 Art Show. Local businesses may offer extended hours and special events inviting you to visit their establishments before and after the pop-up art exhibit. Look for more to come in November or list your business!
