About 30 Eastside artists packed into the Sammamish City Hall for the ninth annual Sammamish Arts Fair. Half of them were new to the fair this year.

It was free to attend; all proceeds went directly toward the local artists on display Oct. 10-11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Attendees had a chance to see a wide variety of work, from paintings, to mixed media and wood carvings at the Sammamish City Hall.

The work is selected by a jury, which “means that we get a really nice variety of high quality art,” Snoqualmie-based artist Pamela Wickard said.

The artists organize and promote the event; they are all responsible for their own setup and tear down after the fair.
