Central Oregon Arts & Culture

With nationally renowned museums, diverse galleries, major music festivals and a year-round art school (Art Station) Central Oregon rejuvenates both mind and body. Stroll through downtown Bend and past a fascinating array of public art pieces, including Art, a cast aluminum old-man who shares a bench with ducks, and the abstract steel spires of Earth Song; extend your tour by gallery-hopping through dramatically diverse works of paintings, hand-blown glass and bronze sculptures in the quaint towns of Sisters and Redmond. Also, the region is a mecca for live music with a host of events: the Cascade Festival of Music, Munch & Music, Music on the Green, and Sunriver Music Festival among others. Finally, immerse yourself in the culture of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs by taking in colorful pow-wows, salmon bakes and exhibits at the Warm Springs Museum.
