Southern Oregon Artists Resource

SOAR: A network and directory of the Southern Oregon arts community, featuring artists, artisans, galleries, art education resources and art related businesses in the Rogue Valley and surrounding areas for residents and visitors, artists and galleries, art collectors, designers, decorators, and moms.

A comprehensive directory of Southern Oregon's arts community and guide to events for its members, local arts enthusiasts, and those planning to visit or move to our region.

Connecting our Arts Community...to You!

Southern Oregon is a garden of unique and diverse creative talent. From distinguished fine artists to outsiders, our area is home to award winners and promising new talent in a vast range of disciplines and host to a spectacular array of yearly theater, music, food and wine festivals. As our continuing trend of excellence and achievement grows, so do our collaborations; increasingly multi-faceted, many events frame the primary work on display with a well-rounded presentation including music, wine tasting from local artisan wineries and gourmet catering using locally grown and made cheeses, chocolates and organic foods, all produced by award-winning artists in their own fields.

It is our goal to provide a comprehensive directory that will be a convenient hub for the promotion of local and regional artists, a collaboration reference for galleries, venues and event planners and a travel planning resource for visitors coming to enjoy the rich palette of Southern Oregon arts & culture. Further, it is our hope that this resource will both unify the broad spectrum of our arts community and convey a compelling sense of the vibrant arts scene in Southern Oregon which encourages visitors to sample our nationally and internationally acclaimed artistic and cultural offerings.
