The Olympia Art League is proud to present its 78th Annual Arts Walk Juried Show. Our 2026 show will be at Olympia’s Community Center running from April 20 - April 25th, paired with Olympia’s Spring ArtsWalk celebration. You can view the show Monday through Friday from 8am to 8pm, and on Saturday, 8am to 5pm.

The OAL reception will be held Thursday, April 23rd from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Oly Community Center, with awards at 7pm. Come and enjoy the art and light refreshments.

The League has enjoyed a long tradition of sponsoring regional exhibitions that have been very popular with local artists and the public that come to view the wonderful art.

This year we are offering a workshop with juror Jen Evenhus, who works in pastels. Space is limited, so make sure you send a check early to reserve your spot. Click on the 2026 ArtsWalk Workshop button below for more detailed information.
