The Pendleton Center for the Arts is a great place to view, buy and make art. You can view a full calendar of events here. We offer fine arts exhibits, live music performances, arts education for youth, teens and adults, and a great venue for purchasing hand-crafted fine gifts made by regional artists.

 

Located in the heart of eastern Oregon, our beautifully restored 1916 Carnegie Library building is an architectural treasure in its own right.

Located on the banks of the Umatilla River, the Center caps one end of a downtown core that is regaining its vitality and charm. Community members use the building for weddings, receptions, meetings and parties of all kind.

 

You can take a quick video tour of the building HERE.

We also feature an important - and FREE - after-school program for teens called Art Rocks Teens (A.R.T.).

 

We work to make the viewing and making of art accessible to everyone. We hope you’ll visit us and take advantage of the wide range of events and activities available. AND we hope you’ll support us with your membership so that we may continue to provide great art experiences for the community. Corey’s Kids Art Fund provides an opportunity for teens and young adults to donate to the arts.

 

We’re indebted to the many individuals, business members, foundations and organizations whose financial support made the renovation of our building possible and makes it possible for us to provide ongoing services.
