Artists from across the Pacific Northwest are invited to apply for the inaugural Art on Autumn, a new two-day outdoor fine art festival taking place Friday, September 18, and Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Keewaydin Park in Historic Downtown Kennewick.
Presented in partnership with the Historic Downtown Kennewick Partnership, Art on Autumn celebrates creativity, community, and the changing season through a curated showcase of original artwork, live demonstrations, and artist engagement. The festival is designed to create a welcoming, walkable experience where visitors can discover exceptional art while connecting directly with the artists behind it.
Art on Autumn is a juried fine art festival, with a focus on showcasing original, high-quality artwork created by the exhibiting artist. More than an art festival, Art on Autumn serves as a fundraiser supporting the future of the South Columbia Creative District (SOCO). Proceeds from artist commissions, sponsorships, and donations will help establish SOCO as an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding arts programming, supporting creative businesses, and strengthening the cultural vitality of Downtown Kennewick.
