About the Methow Arts Festival...

 

Methow Arts has produced the Methow Arts Festival since 1989.  Held on the 4th of July, this community event features high caliber entertainment all day on the stage, as well as hands-on-art booths (hosted by a professional artists from the Artist in Residence roster for the Okanogan region) for children and adults. Each year an artist is also chosen to create a design for the posters and t-shirts. 

Methow Arts works in combination with the Town of Twisp, the Twisp Chamber, The Methow Valley News, Winthrop Kiwanis, numerous local businesses, local artists, and over100 dedicated volunteers to bring this festival to life.
