Oregon Art Share is a not for profit, public benefit corporation whose mission is to make the arts more accessible to the communities we serve. Oregon Arts Share events are produced by a management group consisting of some of the most experienced professionals from the festival and hospitality industry on the West Coast.
Oregon Art Share presentations come from a desire to produce events that represent the best that an event can be in terms of removing audience cost barriers, improving audience experience and event hospitality. Our management team has participated at all levels, helping produce some of the largest and most recognized festivals in the Northwest. We saw the need for events that touch people at a personal level with unique affordable community/regional experiences.
Oregon Art Share events will emphasize superb hospitality at all levels. Audience size will be deliberately limited to maximize the personal nature of the event. All attendees will be part a of a post-performance social that includes that day's performers. This will enhance recognition for the artists presented and make the arts more personal to the audience of the presentation.
Music events will present artists who have made or are currently making significant contributions to the Blues, Cajun, Zydeco, Jazz, Bluegrass, Americana, Rock and Folk genres of music paired with regional visual arts presentations by some of the regions finest artists. The management team has worked with many of the most familiar names in the music industry and is confident that the unique nature of OAS events will win the support and the hearts of local media and the public.
