PAINTINGS CREATED BY THE FINALISTS AT THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL WILL BE UP FOR AUCTION!

We will be updating photos each day of the festival, and aim to post final painting photos no later than the day after the festival is over. As a reminder, these are 8ft x 8ft canvas paintings that can live outdoors. 100% of the sales will go directly to funding this beloved annual festival, keeping it free to the public and encouraging the cultivation of public art in Bellingham, WA.

 

You will also be able to bid on additional works created at Paper Whale events throughout this summer. Sizes are listed on each individual piece of artwork.

 

The 2026 auction will begin on August 14, 2026.​​
