Art
Oregon has a rich art and cultural heritage that dates back to its early days, when in the summer of 1898, renowned sculptor, Lorado Taft along with other prestigious artists and writers located the Eagles' Nest Artist Colony here. The evidence of their presence remains in numerous statues located throughout the city. These can be viewed along Oregon's Sculpture Trail. Continuing this early tradition, the Oregon area is home to three working foundries, two with adjoining sculpture galleries; a revived Eagles' Nest Group, several performing arts guilds, The Arts Alliance, and an extensive art collection located in an upstairs gallery at the Oregon Library. In addition to viewing galleries, there are several craft, collector, and retail shops to supply resident and visitor needs
