Vines Art Society

Vines is an arts organization and festival that is responsive to and nurturing of artists that are working toward land, water, and
relational justice.

We support underrepresented voices in developing their work. We bring imagination into everyday spaces! Vines Art Festival is an opportunity for artists and the community to tangle and grow together through a day of outdoor exploration. Visual artists describe the land; performers build on this description – all to connect artistic visions with the community.

That’s a wrap on the 12th annual Vines Art Festival 🤸🏽‍♀️🌱

Much gratitude for all the love and support over the past 2 weeks. 😌💖

We celebrated art that acknowledges everything that is alive and looking back at us. Witnessing art that transforms itself with all the surrounding elements present in the space. 🌳🌅 Thank you to all the artists, volunteers, and community who generously shared their gifts with us.

With your continued support, we’ve raised $4000 towards our Artist Survival and Care Fund. 💚 This life-changing fund provides accessible, non-bureaucratic financial support to those who need it, when they need it most. Every contribution helps, and donations over $25 receive a tax receipt.

Donate and support our cause✨ https://tr.ee/oXsQVZnAey

Vines Art Festival is almost one week away! 🎉🤸🏽‍♀️
💖Join us for 8 free events August 5th-15th

Vines 2026 Festival is all about Transformation. What is becoming visible that we were told not to look at? Join us in witnessing work that knows everything is alive and looking back at you. The stone, the storm, the river, the light at that particular angle. Work that understands we’re never making something alone, the weather has opinions, the hour of day is a participant. We are always collaborating. Work that is willing to stand at the edge of the day and ask what is illuminated.
