Festival Community Canvas
A Gift of Joy
Join us in creating something beautiful!
The Festival Community Canvas invites visitors of all ages to add their own brushstroke to a collaborative painting during the Olalla Lavender Festival. Once complete, the artwork will be donated to the Olalla Community as a lasting gift of beauty, hope, and community spirit.
With Gratitude to:
Mary Jane Harman, Award Winning Wildlife Artist, Lives in Olalla
A Masterpiece
of Shared Moments
Throughout the festival weekend, visitors of all ages added their own brushstrokes, symbols, and heartfelt touches to this one-of-a-kind Community Canvas. What began as a blank surface quickly bloomed into a joyful tapestry of creativity, connection, and color.
Together, you helped create something beautiful and lasting, and we couldn’t be more proud to share the finished piece with you here.
This Year's Theme: Leave Your Mark
This year, we invite you to add the imprint of your hand to our Community Canvas. Every handprint represents a unique person, and together they'll create a colorful reminder that every individual helps shape our community. Stop by, make your mark, and become part of this year's masterpiece.
Last Year's Community Canvas
Hundreds of festival guests—young and old—picked up a paintbrush and added their own touch to our Community Canvas. Together, they created a one-of-a-kind piece of art that reflected the creativity, kindness, and spirit of our community.
Thank you to everyone who has left, or will leave, their mark on our community in more ways than one. 💜
