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.
The small town of Toledo found up-river from Newport, which can be missed by tourists, provides art lovers several galleries all within walking distance from each other. Toledo has several well known artists who have located their homes and galleries in town. Be sure too to check out the communities of Yachats, Waldport and Depoe Bay.
