Pendleton Center for the Arts

Showcases tend to change every month, they are well put together and diverse in scope. We are huge fans of the free drop in Saturday classes. My kids enjoy the variety of activities and creativity that is encouraged during this quick 45 min brainstorm. The gift shop features a wide variety (in style and price) of local (or near local.. as in Washington or Idaho) hand made goods and crafts. Something for everyone. And the people there are phenomenal, always open to step up and help the community.

Board Game Nite Free sessions. European strategic games are played with a variety that are learned if you choose. I enjoyed these sessions and ordered some of the games to take to my Grand chilldren. At first I was leery that it would be a competitive time but instead it was fun learning new games that exercised my brain and expanded my consciousness.

This is one of the best places to visit while in Pendleton! They always have great exhibits, shows and friendly staff! The director is wonderful and I always love our conversation! There's a good rotating selection of trinkets that make for good gifts for any occasion! Get out of the house and check the place out!

It's one of my favorite spots in Pendleton, along with the Woolen Mills and the Underground Tour! Every visitor will find something to enjoy: from the art collector to the gift shopper. I can't wait to see what new clever items I'll discover during my next visit: fused glass, reclaimed wood, recycled men's shirts, re-spun cotton, jewelry, fine prints. They focus on artists from town and throughout Oregon showing genuine artistry and creativity. And, if you're lucky, you may even catch a workshop for you or your little ones. A special shout-out to Roberta, who is always so knowledgeable, caring and welcoming. I look forward to seeing you next year!
