The Willamette Art Center

Our studio is an artists' oasis tucked amidst the oaks on the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem.

Featuring wide, airy workspace for both 2-D and 3-D artists, we welcome beginners and experts alike to express their creativity in a friendly, supportive community.

The Friends of the Visual Arts are also proud to host the Artisan's Village at the Oregon State Fair.
