Oregon Coast Arts & Culture

The rugged beauty of the coast and the potent energy of its battering waves inspire a vibrant community of artist, performers, writers and musicians. With a tantalizing array of events and attractions such as one-of-a-kind writers’ workshops (Sitka Center for Art & Ecology, Writers on the Edge), poetry readings (Astoria Fisher Poets Gathering), arts-and-crafts festivals (Stormy Weather Arts Festival) and music festivals including Jazz at Newport, Chowder, Blues & Brews and the Oregon Coast Music Festival, a coast getaway will rekindle your sense of discovery. What’s more, the coast is home to galleries and studios (Lawrence Gallery, Jeffrey Hull Gallery and others) that will regale your senses with a variety of expressionist and impressionist oil and watercolor works, as well as exquisite glass and bronze sculpture.
