Visual Arts Week kicks off with the closing reception of the 25th Annual Mayor’s Teen Art Show, which highlights the work of 42 young artists from 19 local schools. This show gives teenagers the chance to express themselves through visual arts.

Spectators are encouraged to wear creative, light-themed outfits. After the parade, the family-friendly BRiGHT AfterParty will take place at the Farmers Market Pavilion from 8-11 p.m., featuring live and electronic music, dancing, food carts, and light-based artwork.
In addition, several downtown galleries will display special exhibits throughout the week, catering to Eugene’s celebration of visual arts.
