2026 Spring Art Festival

May 2 & 3, 2026
The Oshawa Art Association’s Spring Art Festival returns to Camp Samac, celebrating creativity and community with over 60 talented local artists.

This two-day event invites visitors to explore and purchase original artworks directly from the artists—a chance to discover the stories and inspiration behind each piece.

Volunteer With Us at the Spring Art Festival!

We are looking for volunteers to cover the following shifts on Saturday and Sunday:

• Half Day (AM): 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM

• Half Day (PM): 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM

• Full Day: 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM

Whether you can spare a few hours or the whole day, your help would make a big difference in creating a fun and welcoming experience for our artists and visitors.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. We'd love to have you be part of this celebration of local art!
