About this opportunity

The Peninsula Art League (PAL) invites artists from across the country to be part of our 40th Annual Summer Art Festival, a milestone celebration set in the stunning natural surroundings of Sehmel Homestead Park in the heart of Puget Sound.

This highly anticipated two-day, juried outdoor festival draws more than 8,000 engaged visitors—art lovers, collectors, and community supporters who come specifically to discover and purchase original work. It’s an exceptional opportunity to present your art to an enthusiastic audience in a setting that encourages meaningful connections between artists and patrons.

Artists from the Pacific Northwest and beyond will showcase a diverse range of media, with attendees enjoying the chance to meet artists in person, learn about their creative process, and build lasting relationships. The festival experience is enriched with live music, popular food trucks, the Peninsula Art League Member Art Show, and family-friendly Kid’s Corner activities, creating a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere throughout the weekend.

We are again proud to feature a juried Emerging Artist Section. If you are an up-and-coming artist who has not previously exhibited at the Summer Art Festival, we encourage you to apply for one of 10 exclusive spaces dedicated to emerging talent—an outstanding opportunity to gain visibility and be part of this celebrated event.

Join us in celebrating 40 years of art, creativity, and community. Apply and share your work where it will truly be seen.
