The Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council has been producing the Blueberry Arts Festival since 1975! Since that time we have supported artists as they developed their work, highlighted many, many bands, heard thousands of poems, cleaned up so many gallons of slug slime, made a gazillion blueberry pies, seen sooooo many pets and dolls, hung extraordinary art, added space for more artists, added food booths, invited other nonprofits to showcase their organizations, added booths to the Methodist Church parking lot, added booths to Main Street, seen some pretty amazing handmade, humanpowered Blueberry boats!, added booths to the City parking lot....moved to Mission, dock and Main streets.
We are able to place a little over 160 booths, and estimate at least 8000 attend the 3-day Festival.
Please join us! You won't be disappointed.
ARTISTS - applications to participate in the Blueberry Arts Festival are always opened during the Celebration of the Sea Art Walk, the first Friday of May.
