Artist Support

Project Background

We are planning for the 2027 festival which will be held on February 27, 2027. We will begin our marketing in November 2026. This festival began in 2006 and has always had a contest to select a local artist to design artwork for the poster. See the artists selected over the years at Snow Goose Festival Collection.

The artist selected will be showcased at the event in a booth at the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center. They can sell any of their other art at the booth. Art submissions for consideration should be in final form.There is a $250 stipend for the artwork chosen by the panel for the 2027 poster.

The Stanwood Area Historical Society has partnered with the Stanwood Camano Arts Advocacy Commission to implement this Call for Art.

Project Vision

The goal of this project is to continue to showcase locally created art for the annual Snow Goose & Birding Festival poster. As in the past, the posters themselves become special keepsake items and add to the creativity of the event. They will also become part of a permanent collection at the Camano City Schoolhouse Archive, many of which are signed by the artist.
