 The OSA Rose Festival Show is an artistic celebration of the City of Portland and its traditions surrounding its iconic flower, the rose. This year the official Portland Rose Festival theme is “Dream Forward”. 

OSA is honored to participate in the events surrounding this festival by unveiling a portrait of this years Rose Festival Queen and presenting paintings in our gallery which feature scenes from around Portland and still life portraits of our beloved roses. The show has historically been one of our biggest shows and we hope this year Portland
artists will submit a wide array of art work on these traditional themes.
