5th Annual Arts Alive!

August 12 & 13, 2022

Arts Alive! serves regional audiences of Linn and Benton Counties by coordinating innovative, thought-provoking art projects which support artists by providing opportunities to share their work with the public. Our 2022 Arts Alive will include opportunities for visual artists, musicians, installation artists, teaching artists, open mic, and musical performances.

All Arts Alive! Events are in The Arts Center or in front, on the Arts Center Plaza
