This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of our Summer Art Festival.
Nearly 130 arists and craftspeople from throughout the northwest will participate. You'll find a huge variety of finely crafted items for sale -- paintings, jewelry, ceramics, glasswork, metalwork, clothing, basketry, mixed media work, toys and more, more more! Please join us in celebrating 25 years.
Free shuttle service -- Downtown parking is a challenge! We encourage you to take the free shuttle bus, which runs every 10 minutes during festival hours.
We have a new shuttle location this year -- the Gig Harbor Medical Pavillion on Kimball drive (across from Strohs and across from the Pierce Transit lot). For driving directions and a map of the shuttle route click here.

Profits from our Summer Art Festival provide art scholarships for local students and PAL members, and are returned to the community through our art shows, exhibitions and educational programs. Additionally, every year we hold a competition among local high school art classes for the illustration for our Festival poster. Cash prizes are awarded to the top three entries, and the winning illustration is used on our Festival poster and other promotional materials, and on the cover of our Member Directory.
