Calling All Artists!

Artscape 2017 will be presented by Dayton Community Development Association and various sponsors.  It is a community-building project created to add interest and color to our town. With the success of the 2016 Artscape, we are especially excited for 2017, as it will be bigger and better. Our Artscape 2016 event won an award, so we have a lot to live up to in 2017.

Your artwork might be on display around Dayton for the town to view in some fashion. We will end the summer with our Artscape Auction on September 23, 2017, where we will sell your artwork to the highest bidder. The funds will go to support the DCDA and all the work they are doing to make Dayton great!

If you are an artist and would like to participate and donate a piece of art in this year’s event, you will need to fill out the artist application form and apply by January 30th, 2017. Applications should be mailed to:

Dayton Community Development Association

Dayton, Oregon 97114

Art submissions will be due on May 1st, 2017. For more details or questions, please contact the Artscape Coordinator, Jenni Middleton, at 971-264-4289.

We look forward to this exciting event and can’t wait to see what this year’s artists create!
