There are a remarkable number of artists and galleries found on the central Oregon coast. The climate, the tourist trade, the splendor of the location draws national and international artists. They live and create their art while enjoying all the conveniences available in the area. Patrons and admirers of art will find fine art glass creations (including Japanese type floats), various genres of oil, water color, pen & ink paintings, sculptures, pottery, and other items limited only by the artists’ imaginations. Art can be a participatory event. Blowing your own glass creation is a real possibility. Photography galleries showing off stunning west coast images can be thrilling.
