The Artists’ Gallery Sunriver has earned a well-deserved reputation for eye-catching, unique, hand-made art to suit every budget and taste. Upon entering the gallery, visitors have a creative experience unlike any other. There is something for everyone and the art covers many media and styles.
Bursting with color, the gallery features original, hand-crafted gifts and fine art from 30 artists. The Central Oregon artists have supplied sculpture, paintings, fused and blown glass, textiles, woodcraft, custom jewelry, furnishings, metal art, photography and ceramics.
The highlight of the month at the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver is their Second Saturday celebration. During this ever popular event, held on the second Saturday of each month from 4-6pm, the gallery hosts a reception where the public can meet and mingle with the artists. Complimentary light refreshments are served and sometimes live entertainment is included. There is no charge for these events, and the artists can help shoppers peruse new art, suggest the perfect gift for the person who has everything or for yourself! There are often art demonstrations by the artists and they are always happy to discuss their style and techniques. Currently, the reception might be “virtual” due to COVID restrictions, but we look forward to when the Second Saturday receptions can resume in person.

Operated by local Central Oregon artists, the artwork ranges from fine acrylic and oil painting to collage, watercolor, fine wood and gourd art to unique photography, many types of mixed media, jewelry and more. Some 30 artists participate in the gallery including Deni Porter, Bonnie Junell, Karla Proud, Diane Miyauchi and Dori Kite. Information on all the artists is available on the gallery website.
When you step into the gallery you will see the work of both established and emerging artists. Customers often exclaim that the gallery is one of the finest galleries they have ever been in. Customers also note that prices are fair and reasonable. And the variety of art is amazing! Many customers return year after year when they visit Sunriver and make a trip to the gallery one of their destinations. The art is always changing, so a visit to the gallery is mandatory.
The gallery is an artists’ co-op — each artist volunteers to work in the gallery and on committees, so the artists are included in many decisions about the direction of the gallery. “We are all very excited to be a part of the Sunriver Village and this gallery,” say the artist members.
