Celebrate art, literature, and nature at the Portland Audubon’s Wild Arts Festival.

For 43 years, the festival has brought together outdoor lovers to discover one-of-a-kind nature-inspired artwork and books.

This event supports the Portland Audubon’s mission to inspire people to love and protect birds, wildlife, and the natural environment upon which life depends.

Here are the details about the 2023 event.

Portland Audubon’s Wild Arts Festival is November 18 and 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More than 80 regional artists and authors will gather to celebrate the beauty of the natural world.

Find a piece of art for your home or gifts for your loved ones. Artwork includes painting, sculpture, jewelry, photography, woodwork, textile, ceramic, and blown glass created by 60 local artists.

Meet some of the best local and regional authors specializing in nature, birds, hiking, history, books for kids based in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. You can buy the books and have them signed by the authors on both days of the festival from noon to 4 p.m.

Also, there is a silent auction with more than 100 retail items, artwork, vacations and experiences you can bid on.
