What’s Happening?

The Kenmore Art Show – long a cherished event in the Northshore area – is back after a 7 year break!

This year just under 100 artists submitted in two categories : 2D Artwork and Photography (see below for details on the artists as they become available).

Art show sales will benefit our community’s youth by supporting AoK youth programs.

When and Where is it?

The show will be held in Kenmore Camera Studios – which is located by the Hangar in downtown Kenmore (address: 6708 NE 181st ST, Kenmore, WA 98028), August 16-18, 2024.

There is ample parking nearby – both in the parking lot for Kenmore Camera and along 181st Street in Kenmore. The location is also accessible for cyclists – just north of the Burke-Gilman Trail – and via public transit.

Our Legacy Artist:

Alan Riley was one of the original founders of the Arts of Kenmore. He taught high school art, was a prolific artist, and left considerable art legacy. It the Riley family’s wish that his work be gifted to the Arts of Kenmore and that the sale of his work would be an ongoing source of income for Arts of Kenmore in the years to come.

You will be treated to a sneak preview of some of his work at the Kenmore Art Show!

A small show of his work will take place later this year – at the City Gallery in September and October.
