We Love Art in Ashland, Oregon!

Since the beginning of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in the 1930’s, Ashland has grown into the art and culture hub of Southern Oregon.

With our love of the arts at The Columbia Hotel, and Members of the Ashland Gallery Association, we hope to partner and feature these talented local artists on our walls and through our halls.

Our Community of Artists

With a vibrant creative community at The Oregon Center for the Arts at Southern Oregon University that focuses on academic programs including creative art, emerging media, creative writing, music, and theater, Ashland has become home to hundreds of artists collaborating in galleries, theater productions and live music all across the Rogue Valley.

Take a journey with us as we showcase some of these talented individuals…
