Creativity around every corner
In Silverton, art isn’t confined to galleries—it’s woven into everyday life. From colorful murals on downtown buildings to welcoming galleries filled with local talent, Silverton is a place where creativity thrives and visitors are invited to experience it firsthand.
An Open-Air Art Gallery
One of Silverton’s most recognizable artistic treasures is its collection of murals created by the Silverton Mural Society. These large-scale paintings bring the town’s history to life and transform downtown into an open-air gallery.
Following the mural walk is both an art experience and a journey through Silverton’s story—each piece capturing a moment that shaped the community.
Galleries Full of Local Talent
Silverton’s creative spirit continues inside its galleries. The Silverton Arts Association has been supporting artists and arts education in the community for decades, offering exhibits, classes, and opportunities to connect with local creators.
Just down the street, Lunaria Gallery showcases the work of regional artists through its cooperative gallery. From paintings and photography to ceramics and handcrafted jewelry, visitors can browse unique works and even meet the artists who created them.
Art in the Gardens
Art and nature blend beautifully at The Oregon Garden, where sculptures and artistic installations are thoughtfully placed throughout the gardens. As visitors wander along the pathways, they’ll discover pieces that complement the surrounding landscape—creating moments of surprise, reflection, and inspiration among the flowers and trees.
Celebrate the Arts
Each summer, the community gathers for the beloved Silverton Arts Festival, held every August in scenic Coolidge McClaine Park. Artists from across the region fill the park with paintings, sculpture, photography, jewelry, and more.
With live music, food vendors, and creative activities for kids, the festival celebrates Silverton’s long-standing love for the arts.
A Community Inspired by Creativity
In Silverton, art is something everyone can enjoy—whether you’re admiring a mural, stepping into a gallery, or discovering a new favorite artist at the festival.
It’s this creative energy that makes Silverton not just a place to visit, but a place to be inspired.
