Southern Oregon Artists Resource

A group of artists dedicated to promoting the presence of locally created art at each public event held in Jacksonville, including our own city-wide Art Jubilee held each September. Our dues are very reasonable for the benefit of the added visibility and high profile exhibition opportunities you'll receive during Jacksonville's popular events!

The Artists Workshop is a group of over thirty Rogue Valley Artists that meet every Monday to paint at an outdoor location, weather permitting, and indoors to paint models during the Winter months. These artists paint and draw in all media: charcoal, watercolor, oil, acrylic and pastel. The group conducts an annual show and sale in late August; 2011 marks their 27th exhibit. Please contact Lynda Haghan if you are interested in participating in painting sessions or joining the Workshop.

Ashland Art Center is an artists' support hub that fills its 9000 square feet to the brim with two fine art galleries, 19 private artist's studios, a Cooperative Clay Studio, Central Art Supply satellite store, Rowan Design and a Community Classroom for classes and meetings. Come visit and be inspired, pick up an amazing gift or join the Artist Member family. Open 7 days a week, 10-6pm.

Briscoe ArtWing is home to the Lithia Arts Guild, 15 artists, musicians and educators and their studios, and hosts several yearly events. Exploring the creative process in community, we partner with regional artists and the Lithia Artisans Market to contribute funds to the Ashland School District and provide meaningful programs for students from K-12.

Our guild is part of a larger regional group, Mountain Stars Quilters Guild. Guests are welcome to join us-we specialize in fine appliqué and hand quilting, but all techniques are used and shared in our friendly meetings. We share our collection of quilts depicting Southern Oregon history at community events & quilt shows, and hold an Annual Quilt Show in July.

We're a group of visual artists gathering on the grounds of the Jacksonville Museum, at the corner of 5th and C Streets, from 9AM to 3PM each Saturday through the summer months to exhibit our work. We invite you to join us for this inexpensive opportunity to show your art and make new friends (the group of artists changes weekly) in a relaxed, open-air venue on Jacksonville's busiest day of the week!

The Photographer's Gallery at The Ashland Art Center is the only one of its kind between Portland and San Francisco. Centrally located in the heart of Ashland, the Gallery features a diverse range of photographic subjects and styles including landscape, travel, local. nature, macro, abstract, offbeat and black and white. Both framed and unframed prints in a wide variety of sizes as well as canvas images are available.

Join us for a business meeting, book report, lunch, program and socializing. You don't have to be a weaver and any skill level is welcome at no charge. Bring a sack lunch and your projects or questions about weaving. We have workshops once or twice a year, so call first to see what's happening. Ask for your 2 month free trial subscription to Rogue Rovings, our newsletter.

SOSA invites all two-dimensional visual artists to attend meetings held on the fourth Monday of each month, January - October at the Medford Public Library at 7:00 pm. Be early - library doors lock at 7:00 pm!

We're a local chapter of the Embroiderer's Guild of America, Greater Pacific Region, founded in 1993. Our members include all ages and skill levels. We meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month for friendship and stitching (see SOAR's calendar for more information). Members of other chapters and interested people are always welcome. We also hold workshops on particular techniques, along with other opportunities to learn.
