Goals:
The commission has three main projects:
  • Estacada Summer Celebration - Celebrated annually during the 4th weekend in July, the heart of downtown Estacada becomes filled with live musical performances, dancing, puppet shows, street performers, art booths, a silent art auction, and hands-on art activities for children and families. All this takes place while the ArtBack Artists paint their annual large-scale mural, and it is all free!
  • Arts & Culture Series - From January through June, the Arts Commission tries to enrich the community by bringing culturally diverse events to the area  and developing and improving the quantity, quality, accessibility, and affordability of arts and culture for our citizens.
  • 1% for Art - The Percent for Art Program remains dedicated to the enhancement of public environments and improvement of the character and quality of city buildings and projects in order to create an accessible, publicly owned legacy which is uplifting, enduring and available to all.
Commission Members:
The Estacada Area Arts Commission was established by the Estacada City Council in September 1997.   The Council appoints seven volunteers who serve a two-year term.  Three members must live in the city limits of Estacada and four members must reside in the Estacada School District.
