REMEMBERING THE 2025 SUMMER ART FESTIVAL
A CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS
It’s a wrap! In July of 2025 Peninsula Art League successfully hosted the 39th Summer Art Festival, a Gig Harbor tradition that featured over 100 juried Festival artists from across the West.
THANK YOU to everyone who attended!
Thanks too to the sponsors and patrons, juried artists and over 85 PAL volunteers who all came together to make the 2025 Summer Festival exceptional.
The amazing array of art included paintings and photography along with pottery, wood and metal art, garden art, jewelry, fiber art, glass and basketry.
The Vern Pavillion showcased art from 38 of our members – check out the Summer Show Flip Book to see the fabulous art that was displayed.
Visit the 2025 Member Summer Art Show page to learn about the honorees selected by our juror Tacoma-based photographer Davis Freeman, as well as the winner of the 2025 People’s Choice Award selected by our festival attendees.
