]]> Research continually shows that you enrich your health and well-being when you participate in art and cultural activities. Music, dance, and visual arts also expand your social networks, boost self-esteem, and decrease stress.

As we start 2025, we thought we’d give you a little inspiration. Our cultural landscape in Oregon is strong, and opportunities abound across the state to get involved.

Each month we’ll focus on a particular theme. This month it’s ART.

A year of arts & culture

What kinds of art appeal to you?

Checking out the Paul McCartney Photography at the Portland Art Museum (exhibit closes Jan. 19).

Applying to be part of the 76th Annual Salem Art Fair & Festival from September 12-14, 2025, which draws thousands of visitors. Early bird applications due by Feb. 17.

Taking an art class at the Crossroads Carnegie Art Center (Baker City), Josephy Center (Joseph), Lincoln City Cultural Center, Tualatin Valley Creates(Washington County), or the Multnomah Art Center (SW Portland).
