Start at the Pacific Artists Co-op Gallery, where around 40 local and regional artists display everything from seascapes and sculpture to ceramics and fiber art. The artists staff the gallery themselves, so you can ask questions and learn more about their creations. On the south end of town, Freed Gallery is a striking space overlooking Siletz Bay. Inside, you’ll find an eclectic, museum-like mix of fine art from more than 90 artists across the Northwest and beyond. 4. SHOP CREATIVELY If you love discovering local makers and one-of-a-kind goods, plan your visit around one of Lincoln City’s seasonal art festivals or markets. The Summer Art Festival in early August and the Winter Art Festival in November feature handmade jewelry, candles, home goods and mixedmedia art. Throughout the year, you’ll also find artisan booths at the Sunday Market and occasional pop-ups around town. It’s a fun way to meet local artists and support the creative community. 5. MAKE SOMETHING WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS Feeling inspired? Try your hand at creating something of your own. The Artists’ Studio Association offers a welcoming community art space with classes, workshops and open studio time for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re sketching, painting or learning a new medium, it’s an easy, low-pressure way to get creative. For a fiery, hands-on experience, return to the Lincoln City Glass Center to reserve a session and craft your own glass-blown creation with the help of a professional glassblower.
