Bird Alliance of Oregon's 45th Wild Arts Festival to Support Conservation Through Art and Community Engagement

The Bird Alliance of Oregon has announced the return of its 45th Wild Arts Festival, scheduled for December 6 and 7, 2025, at the Wingspan Event Center located at the Washington County Fairgrounds. This annual event represents more than just an art exhibition—it functions as a significant financial engine supporting the organization's work in inspiring love and protection for birds, wildlife, and the environment.

The festival serves as a critical fundraising platform for the organization's conservation mission, bringing together art enthusiasts, nature lovers, and environmental advocates. A representative from Charity Ace, which will assist with fundraising efforts, emphasized that the festival demonstrates the organization's dedication to fostering connections between people and nature while generating essential operational funds.

Attendees will have access to a diverse selection of artwork from 62 talented artists and nature-inspired books from 25 accomplished Northwest writers. The event features a silent auction with over 100 retail items, art pieces, vacations, and unique experiences, all contributing to the conservation cause. The festival's new location at the Wingspan Event Center offers improved accessibility via light rail and ample parking facilities.

Presented by the Backyard Bird Shop & Sauvie Island Natives, the Wild Arts Festival creates a meaningful intersection between artistic expression and environmental stewardship. For detailed information about the event schedule, participating artists, and ticket availability, visitors can consult the event website.

The festival's importance extends beyond cultural enrichment, as it directly supports conservation education programs, habitat protection initiatives, and wildlife advocacy efforts throughout Oregon.
