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 AIR roster for Okanogan region) for children and adults. Each year an artist is also chosen to create a design for the posters and t-shirts. Throughout the day this art piece is available for bid by silent auction.
