The park features a dog off-leash area, skate park, picnic shelter, and children’s play equipment. The design should take into consideration ease of maintenance and resistance to vandalism. A laser-cut, powder-coated steel image is desirable to reduce the amount of surface area available for tagging and areas where a person may be concealed. The art panel is planned to measure sixteen feet wide and four feet high and would be anchored onto a concrete curb. Full details are available on the City of Wenatchee website:  https://www.wenatcheewa.gov/services/bid-opportunities.

Event Dates: October 16–18, 2026
Location: Tonasket, WA

We're building a collaborative cast to perform throughout the weekend as part of our interactive vendor space. The performance schedule is still being finalized with the Faire, so we're gathering interested performers now and will create a schedule that works with everyone's availability.

We're seeking:

Aerialists (lyra, silks, hammock, trapeze, etc.)

Hula hoopers and flow artists

Belly dancers

Acro and circus performers

Dancers and other movement artists

Story tellers, poetics and comedians

The experience will feature an Enchanted Forest theme with opportunities for themed performances, photo opportunities, mini lessons, and interactive demonstrations.

Performers must provide their own Okanogan Family Barter Faire admission/camping ticket. There may be opportunities to receive tips or trades during performances and activities.

Planning will be done through virtual meetings leading up to the event to develop the theme, costumes, music, and performance schedule.

If you're interested, please send:

A brief description of what you perform

Photos or videos (if available)

Whether you're already planning to attend the Faire

We're looking for performers who enjoy collaboration, creativity, and helping create an immersive experience for the Barter Faire community.

Artist Statement:

Now that I am retired, I have more time to take classes and truly devote my days to something I love. I have spent most of the last decade exploring pastels, but just recently I dug out my 50-year-old oil paint tubes. I’m enjoying learning and relearning things with the medium. Art is a lifelong journey, and I continue on because for me, it really does feed the soul.
