14 ARTISTS SOUTH
For over twenty years 14 Artists South has hosted studio tours of artisans, painters, sculptors living around US Highway 14. The collective had no permanent home until recently. 14 Artists South has found the perfect space right in downtown Oregon in the old water tower building on the square. Want to support local during the holiday season this is great destination to find a great gift or gifts.
