Art and environment go hand in hand in Cannon Beach Oregon like no other place on the planet and September 16-19 the town celebrates that combination at the Earth & Ocean Arts Festival. The festival will showcase the wonders of the natural world and encourage environmental stewardship through a broad range of gallery exhibits, live art performances and events.
The public is invited to be part of a live art project that will create the world’s largest seastar entirely make up of people in one of the highlights of the festival.
In addition to showcasing art inspired by the natural world and encouraging stewardship, Earth & Ocean Arts Festival is a fundraiser for five North Oregon Coast based environmental non-profits including: North Coast Land Conservancy, Wildlife Center of the North Coast, Friends of Haystack Rock, Sea Turtles Forever, and Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve.
