First Friday is coming September 4th and the theme is “Celebrate Art!” We are going to celebrate everything ART because we love art so! This event is a combination of art installments, art shows, art demos, kids art and after-hours shopping, dining and other family friendly artful activities.
It’s an evening of Art for All in Downtown Camas!

Watch artist demonstrations (see special note below!)
“Choose Your Favorite Local Art” passport activity at participating merchants throughout downtown with chances to win donated prize baskets.
Self-guided mural tour of the beautiful public artworks in our downtown including the new mural by Molly Keen on the back of The Livingston Apartments (seen from 5th Ave).
Live Outdoor Music and special performances by local Youth musicians
Shop, dine, & have artful fun in Downtown Camas
Start your evening by picking up a First Friday Passport & Activity list at the DCA tablesin Journey lobby, 304 NE 4th Ave.
A SPECIAL NOTE! This year we won’t have a specific plein air painting competition at First Friday because now there is an official Plein Air Event in downtown! On September 27th, the Camas Plein Air Event will be hosted downtown by RedDoor Gallery and it will bring many incredible artists to paint our town! Artists will paint from 8am-3pm and then an artist reception and award ceremony will be at RedDoor from 4-6pm. All are welcome! $2800 in artist cash prizes. It will be amazing to see what these artists create! The art will be on display and for sale in RedDoor Gallery through October 25.
For all the info and registration form, visit HERE! We’d love to have you participate!
Please also note that artists are definitely still welcome to come and paint plein air during First Friday as people LOVE to watch artists paint their favorite locations in downtown!
