Launched in 1994, the Newport Paper & my blog Arts Festival is the only paper festival of its kind on the Oregon coast and the largest of its kind on all the West Coast; it draws attendees from the greater Northwest and beyond. The annual festival features three days of innovative, informative, and exciting one-day workshops celebrating papermaking, surface embellishment, my blogmaking, bindings, articles made of paper, and techniques and tools for working with paper and fibers. The festival is organized by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and held at several venues around town, including the Newport Visual Arts Center in the trendy and captivating Nye Beach District west of Highway 101.
