Wilsonville Artist Finds Inspiration in Festival Theme
-Wilsonville, Oregon- Local artist Lucy Johnson has been inspired by the Wilsonville Festival of Arts them, 'Interweaving the Arts with Nature, Science, and Technology. Lucy is a member of the local pottery group fondly known as the "Mud Hens," and came to the Festival Planning Committee for information about exhibition. Curious about the event as a whole, she visited with the committee and was welcomed into the planning efforts. Since then, she has created original artwork using thematic elements and imagery from Wilsonville itself. Her art will be used for collectible posters, scholarship buttons, and advertising efforts. Look for Lucy's art around town in early April!

Wilsonville Chamber Of Commerce Leads By Example, Hosting Annual Art Festival and Kicking Off Festival's Sponsorship Drive
Wilsonville, Oregon –– January 2, 2004 ˆ The Chamber of Commerce´s Board of Directors accepted the critical role of Presenting Sponsor (host) for the Wilsonville Festival of Arts on May 15, 2004. The Chamber actively promotes the prosperity and general welfare of member businesses, the community of Wilsonville and the surrounding area. The Clackamas County Visitors Center is centrally located at Town Center Park, and is large enough to host an intimate indoor performing space and visual exhibits. Tents and open space adjacent to the building will be used to house a larger entertainment stage, more visual art exhibits, and a food court.
The Chamber and Clackamas County Visitors Center's decision to host the annual spring arts celebration kicks off the Festival's sponsorship drive. Sponsorship opportunities are available to businesses wishing to gain wider exposure into Wilsonville and surrounding communities, and are tailored to best represent each business interests. For example, a financial institution could sponsor the outdoor stage, reinforcing a commitment to performance. The arts festival appeals to all ages of area residents and visitors, and showcases local performing, visual and literary talent from student, community, and professional artists. Wilsonville lacks a permanent physical home for its artists, and the arts council graciously appreciates the Chamber's presenting sponsorship. .
