This year's featured artist is Jesus Escobar, a Salem, Oregon-based artist known for his dynamic paintings and evocative street photography. Born to Guatemalan parents who sought a better life in the United States, Jesus's multicultural background and experiences have profoundly shaped his artistic journey. His early exposure to the world of paint, thanks to his father's profession as an exterior painter for mobile homes, ignited a passion for artistic expression that has only grown over the years.
The festival kicks off 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, October 10 with a wine reception featuring music by Gail Gage Jazz.
From 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, there will be an open discussion and Q&A with featured artist Jesus Escobar plus artists from the community.
