August 13-16, 2009 - Art in the Redwoods Festival returns to Gualala Arts Center for the 48th annual event. What began among the redwoods on Gualala ridge in 1961 has grown to a four-day attraction for thousands.

The heart of the Festival includes close to 400 works of art throughout the 15,000 square foot community built Arts Center completed just ten years ago. The exhibit includes sixteen media categories. Most of the art is for sale; some is exhibited just to encourage a new thought or viewpoint.

The grounds are filled with artist vendor booths offering jewelry, ceramics, wood, tiles, fiber arts, photography and additional art works. Admissions are $6 for adults, children 17 and under are free both days. Sunday the Festival starts at 10AM and closes at 4PM.
