SUMMARY:37th annual Westminster Festival of Fine Art
DESCRIPTION:The Westminster Festival of Fine Art announces its 37th Anniversary celebration at Westminster Presbyterian Church\, Salem\, OR.  Over 60 artists using a variety of medium including painting\, photography\, wood\, jewelry\, fabric art\, pottery\, glasswork and yard art will be featured at this year’s event.  This year the Festival also includes an array of musicians performing each day. \nThis year’s featured artist is Christina Stefani \nJoin Christina at the Festival on Saturday morning at 9AM as she discusses her artistic journey The event is free to the public. Her work will also be prominently displayed and available for purchase for the duration of the Festival. \nArtist Statement — Christina Stefani’s abstract paintings explore the emotional landscapes that define the human experience. Working primarily in oil and mixed media\, she builds each composition through layered glazing techniques that create luminous depth and atmosphere.​ Her work reflects a fascination with the unseen forces that shape our lives: love\, memory\, connection\, and transformation. Through dynamic movement and subtle shifts in color\, her paintings evoke both expansive celestial spaces and intimate emotional moments. Rather than depicting literal imagery\, Stefani allows color\, texture\, and energy to guide the process. Each piece evolves intuitively\, revealing a balance between harmony and chaos that mirrors the rhythms of life itself. The resulting works invite viewers to pause and engage with the painting on a deeply personal level\, discovering their own interpretations within its layers of light\, movement\, and emotion. \n​We look forward to bringing people together through the power of art\, celebrating with the entire community and showcasing the incredible talent that flourishes in the Willamette Valley. \nFESTIVAL SCHEDULE: \nGALLERY HOURS: \nFriday\, October 16                   12PM – 8PM \nSaturday\, October 17             10AM – 5PM \nSunday\, October 18                    9AM – 5PM \nSPECIAL EVENTS: \nFriday\, October 16 \n\n6PM – 8PM      Gala wine & jazz reception featuring music by Gail Gage Jazz.\n\nSaturday\, October 17 \n\n9AM -10AM     Festival featured artist\, Christina Stefani\, will discuss her art with a Q&A opportunity from the audience.\n\nAdditional musical artists to be announced \nThe Festival and all events are free to the public.

SUMMARY:37th annual Westminster Festival of Fine Art
DESCRIPTION:The Westminster Festival of Fine Art announces its 37th Anniversary celebration at Westminster Presbyterian Church\, Salem\, OR.  Over 60 artists using a variety of medium including painting\, photography\, wood\, jewelry\, fabric art\, pottery\, glasswork and yard art will be featured at this year’s event.  This year the Festival also includes an array of musicians performing each day. \nThis year’s featured artist is Christina Stefani \nJoin Christina at the Festival on Saturday morning at 9AM as she discusses her artistic journey The event is free to the public. Her work will also be prominently displayed and available for purchase for the duration of the Festival. \nArtist Statement — Christina Stefani’s abstract paintings explore the emotional landscapes that define the human experience. Working primarily in oil and mixed media\, she builds each composition through layered glazing techniques that create luminous depth and atmosphere.​ Her work reflects a fascination with the unseen forces that shape our lives: love\, memory\, connection\, and transformation. Through dynamic movement and subtle shifts in color\, her paintings evoke both expansive celestial spaces and intimate emotional moments. Rather than depicting literal imagery\, Stefani allows color\, texture\, and energy to guide the process. Each piece evolves intuitively\, revealing a balance between harmony and chaos that mirrors the rhythms of life itself. The resulting works invite viewers to pause and engage with the painting on a deeply personal level\, discovering their own interpretations within its layers of light\, movement\, and emotion. \n​We look forward to bringing people together through the power of art\, celebrating with the entire community and showcasing the incredible talent that flourishes in the Willamette Valley. \nFESTIVAL SCHEDULE: \nGALLERY HOURS: \nFriday\, October 16                   12PM – 8PM \nSaturday\, October 17             10AM – 5PM \nSunday\, October 18                    9AM – 5PM \nSPECIAL EVENTS: \nFriday\, October 16 \n\n6PM – 8PM      Gala wine & jazz reception featuring music by Gail Gage Jazz.\n\nSaturday\, October 17 \n\n9AM -10AM     Festival featured artist\, Christina Stefani\, will discuss her art with a Q&A opportunity from the audience.\n\nAdditional musical artists to be announced \nThe Festival and all events are free to the public.
