ARTS

Art galleries throughout The Territory showcase some of Oregon’s best local artists and visiting talent. Take in an assortment of creative works at The Spiral Gallery artists' cooperative in Estacada or meander through one of the Three Rivers Artist Guild galleries in Oregon City. The arts community has just expanded as well with a new gallery and creative space in Canby; Art-O-Maddic. They feature local, regional and national artists across all media as well as numerous classes and art supplies.

Spend an evening taking in critically acclaimed repertory works at the Clackamas Repertory Theatre. How about combining your love of the theater and the arts? The Lakewood Center for the Arts hosts an annual season of plays, has a rotating art gallery space, and offers art, acting, and music classes to locals and visitors alike.

Music festivals take things to the next level in Happy Valley. Pickathon is a three-day folk and bluegrass festival in the middle of an 80-acre farm. Sustainability is key; Pickathon was the first large outdoor music festival in the U.S. to eliminate single-use plates, cups and utensils. Check our Events Page for upcoming theater, music and art events.
