For 37 years, the Stormy Weather Arts Festival has happened on the first weekend in November and traditionally has been one of Cannon Beach’s most popular events. You can immerse yourself in the creative culture that has long been a part of this community recognized as one of the 100 best art towns in America. The weekend offers musical performances and gallery events with the opportunity to meet renowned artists, see their latest works, or watch them demonstrate their techniques.

Enjoy a variety of gallery receptions, artist demonstrations, and paint classes, and catch free live musical performances with regional musicians at outdoor venues throughout the town. Cannon Beach is home to more than a dozen art galleries. Many of their most successful national and regional artists and prominent local artists will be showcased during the festival. 

The Official 37th Annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival Poster is a multi-media painting by Donald Scott Masterson, the 2024 Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce Artist of the Year.

Prints of the 37th Annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival artwork will soon be available in-person and online. Check back here or on the Stormy Weather Arts Festival Facebook page for updates.
