Join the 2026 Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts for Wild & Luscious, a celebration of art, earth and the flavors that feed us.

Feast your eyes on vibrant botanical paintings of heirloom fruits, vegetables, grains, and wild foods. Inspired by the Botanical Art Worldwide Project, this exhibit celebrates heritage plants and highlights the flavors, colors, and cultures that make our world delicious and alive. Every tomato, berry, and grain on our plates has a wild ancestor, and while much of that rich genetic diversity is at risk, the exhibit will help you discover how you can help keep them thriving. The Wild & Luscious exhibit, June 26–28 will be budding with beauty and purpose. The event runs 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m.–5 p.m. on Sunday.

Here’s what you’ll experience:

• Meet the artists and hear what inspires their choice of heirloom and wild plant subjects.
• Watch live demonstrations as they bring plants to life on the page.
• Learn how botanical art preserves cultural memory and biodiversity.
• Discover stories spanning ancient First Nations foraging traditions to heritage crops passed down through generations. Plus enjoy a James Beard native chef on site.
• Find out how you can help protect the flavors, colors, and cultures that make our world delicious and alive.

This exhibit is curated by the Oregon Botanical Artists (OBA) and will include artisans from both OBA and the Pacific Northwest Botanical Artists (PNBA).

The event is hosted at the Lakewood Center (368 S. State St.) and George Rogers Park (611 S. State St.) in downtown Lake Oswego, Oregon.
