Edmonds Arts Plaza

The Edmonds Arts Plaza, which is open during Festival hours, is found at the west end of the Festival grounds above the Edmonds Library, accessed at 7th Avenue and Main Street or through lower level of the Frances Anderson Center building.

The Edmonds Arts Plaza is a special venue that is part of the annual Edmonds Arts Festival. Guests can leisurely view and buy art, listen to live music, enjoy snacks, unwind, and experience breath-taking views of the Salish Sea and Olympic mountains in a park-like setting. Patrons can casually meet and talk with local artists who contribute to Edmonds being the first certified Creative District in Washington.   

More than 50 established and emerging visual artists from the Edmonds area are showcased on the Plaza and all their art is for sale. In addition to the visual arts, visitors can listen to live music all weekend featuring local singers-songwriters, musicians from the Edmonds Senior Center, local poetry group readings, and more. There are outdoor spaces with tables and chairs for audiences to enjoy the entertainment. 

 Art forms represented on the Edmonds Arts Plaza are varied and unique. Part of the mission of the venue is to expose visitors to a variety of art mediums that can be found in Edmonds. The Edmonds Arts Plaza holds special appeal to visitors because of its relaxed atmosphere. The Plaza can feel more like a community social gathering than a busy summer event, where friends and neighbors can gather while enjoying the fabulous view.
