Creative Arts are alive and thriving in Oregon… it’s part of our DNA! Our history birthed Lorado Taft and the Eagles Nest Art Colony, which influenced the arts throughout Chicago and the entire country. Even today, new initiatives are constantly in the works. Our sculpture program is the envy of any large city in the entire country, and we are constantly looking for new opportunities to explore our artistic side.
