Astoria Visual Arts (AVA) and the Cannery Pier Hotel & Spa are excited to announce their third year of collaboration, inviting artists to submit their work for consideration in the Cannery Pier Hotel’s permanent collection. This year’s theme is Coastal Colors, celebrating the many hues of our coastal landscape.

The Cannery Pier Hotel offers luxurious accommodations to visitors from around the world. One outstanding piece of artwork will be prominently displayed at the hotel. Artists residing in Clatsop or Pacific County who work in two-dimensional media are encouraged to submit their work for consideration. A panel of representatives from the Cannery Pier Hotel, along with regional arts professionals, will select the artwork. The chosen artist will receive a $1,500 purchase award, and their piece may be featured in various promotional materials for the hotel.

How to Apply: Submit up to three, high quality images via email to astoriavisualarts@gmail.com and include a short bio about their artistic background. Strong candidates’ artwork will represent the rich, iconic imagery of Astoria and the Columbia Pacific Region. Artwork submissions must be received by October 30, 2024.
