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.

There are so many things you can do at the WAC! Look around the site for opportunities to participate--volunteering, fundraising events, art sales, classes, and more!
