Celebrating the Arts
Since 1978
The Celebration of Creativity was started over 45 years ago by a small group at Southminster Presbyterian Church in Beaverton, Oregon. The goal was to meet the need of local artists for a recurring professional venue and to make fine art available and affordable to the community.

Our Story
Over the years, this showcase of local and regional talent has grown to become one of the premier art shows in the Portland area, famous for its beautiful presentation, a wide variety of media, and an ever-changing array of artists.
The Art Show Committee of Southminster works year-round to produce the Celebration of Creativity, inviting both emerging and established artists after jurying.
Our Mission

Meet the Artist: Harley Talkington “Strong places and personalities have what I call PRESENCE. If I see a place and am really there in my mind, I can feel its peace or vibrancy and am moved by it. Likewise, when I encounter a creature, its facial expression, posture or sheer beauty, it must be honored. Presence, then, draws me in, energizes, fascinates, and changes me. I hope my work does the same for you!”
