Buy Art, Watch Art, Create Art!

We call the festival “Fresh Paint”, because we want you to have the opportunity to watch artists demonstrate the techniques and processes involved in creating their work. There is something for everyone from painting and weaving to fused glass, ice sculpting and more.

NEW Float Find

Take the 10th St. Marina Park to Jetty Island for our 1st annual Fresh Paint Float Find. More details to come! Sponsored by the City of Everett.

HOT SHOP

The outdoor Hot Shop is back and better than ever. This year the hot shop is coming to Everett via the Tacoma Museum of Glass. Stop by and you’re sure to be mesmerized.

Schedule of glass blowers coming soon!

KIDS ACTIVITIES

Imagine Children’s Museum

The ICM is back at the festival with fun recycled art activities. Kids can really get creative as they assemble everyday items, that might otherwise end up in the trash, into true works of art. Also, pick up information from Simply Recycling about this you can do to reduce, reuse, and recycle. And pick up the latest issue of ParentMap Magazine.

The Pottery Loft 1-5pm ONLY - www.potteryloftstudio.com

“Play in the Clay” with the Pottery Loft. Kids can mold, shape, roll, and smash wet clay into any creature or shape they can imagine. Piece may be taken back to the Potter Loft Studio and fired for a small fee.

Henna Tattoos by Our Sacred Paths - www.oursacredpaths.com

My name is Todd Olson and I am the owner and First Artist with Our Sacred Paths. We do Mehndi: The Henna Art of henna body painting. I have been doing this Art form for almost a decade and have found it to be a socially acceptable way of having a design on our bodies that is unique and removable. I have been learning various arts and crafts since an early age including jewelry, costuming and fashion, painting, sculpture, woodworking, and more.
