The Eugene, Cascades & Coast Arts scene pops - from the Saturday Market to Hult Center, make sure you see it all!
Take our Arts & Culture photo tour, you'll feel the rhythm!
From the Cascades to the Oregon Coast to Eugene, Oregon's second largest city, this culturally vibrant region resonates with hundreds of fine visual artists, Eugene's own Symphony and acclaimed Ballet troupe, and a total of seven resident performing arts companies.
The Eugene Glass School turns out collectable items as well as imaginative glass artisans. The Lane Arts Council's First Friday ARTWalks, fine art galleries and a range of cultural events are part of every well-planned visit here.
The richness of the cultural menu is exemplified by the breadth of the 16 Museums of Eugene/Springfield (MUSE). A shining example of one of these is the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon, where impressive collections of Asian art are enhanced with special exhibitions and a full complement of programs. Readings by award-winning local authors often grace the weekly calendar of events.
Eugene’s eclectic music scene covers a colorful spectrum from two summer weeks of Oregon Bach Festival’s classical offerings to ten days of the The Shedd's Americana-rich melodious extravaganza to house concerts hosting international musicians. Renowned national performers love to strut their stuff at the beautiful Hult Center. Lively entertainment venues include a jazz station with impromptu breakouts, wine bars and brew pubs with foot-stomping West Coast funk, Celtic and Bluegrass jams, and a range of diverse musical genres.
Eugene is a prime arts destination in Oregon Wine Country, a region widely heralded for its pinots and verdant, vine-covered hills. These fertile landscapes fuel the imagination. Ride the rails on a route less traveled when you hop aboard Amtrak to experience the Cultural Cascades. Read Susan G. Hauser's travelogue of her trip from Eugene to Vancouver, B.C., exploring the fine arts all the way. Five cities, two countries and endless possibilities are what you'll find in her tale of "The Great Train Escape." Request our Visitors Guide to plan your next visit!
