    It was a sunny and worn Ashland morning, so Gayle and I decided to take a nice walk down to the…read moreSouthern Oregon University Campus and among other things wander through the Schneider Museum of Art. It's a relatively small space that consists of 2 large gallery spaces, plus a little bit within the entrance area, and all situated within SOU's Art School campus. There's some nice less formal displays within those buildings as well. A voluntary donation of $5 is requested at a "free will" box at the entrance to the museum. We happened upon the "Fighting Men: Golub, Voulkos, Kirby" Exhibition. Most interesting were the various comic book displays by Jack Kirby and Leon Golub's cautionary paintings that depict the violence stemming from political power gone awry. Bridging this gap are Peter Voulkos' powerful ceramic pieces. You can easily (and slowly) spend up to ~30 minutes here. I would also recommend entering and leaving the Museum on the University side, just so you can enjoy wandering around this pretty campus.

    This is a small art museum on the campus of Southern Oregon University. This is a very modern and…read morecontemporary building with 4 exhibits rooms featuring different artists. It's a great stop and it doesn't matter what time of the year you visit Ashland. It is especially great on a day when it is 100 degrees F. It will definitely not break your budget to cool down while looking at some cool art because admission is free. We enjoyed looking at and comparing how each artist has their own style and that was so great for kids to understand that it's important to be yourself and that it's great that no two people or artists are the same. We came in the summer so it was very empty and parking was easy to find. I'm not sure how it is when it's school season.

    Let me start with...I appreciate all museums! I was excited to visit a local museum here in Coos…read moreBay. Parking is free and easy. We surprisingly came on a free day. Normally admission is $7 for adults. The lady at the front counter was so friendly. I started by going upstairs where they were having a small craft show. Meet some lovely people with amazing skills. Spoke with each vendor about their art pieces and even bought a few items for Christmas gifts. We then walked around the couple spaces upstairs with exhibits. The upstairs building itself is beautiful. Arched ceiling and old doors. The art on display was a variety of local artists and different styles. We then went downstairs to see a rescheduling art display. I appreciated the beadwork and PNW themed creations. In total, we were there for less than an hour. There's not a lot to see but what was there was nice. They have a good size gift shop but minimal things to purchase. Seems like a missed opportunity. I feel there should be some local artist items as well as Coos Bay trinkets that support local artists talents. I'm sure there are locals who would give a portion of their sales to the museum. Maybe rotate vendors quarterly? I don't know. I just know there wasn't much to purchase or show interest in supporting the museum. All in all it was a nice visit. T thought I took more photos but I guess I was just living in the moment :}

    Have an hour and like art? Worth stopping in! Very polite and informative staff as well. The…read moregallery on the first floor by far my favorite. Local art from schools also on display adds a nice community touch to the experience. Overall, a great spot to explore if you're in the area!

    The Glass Forge is amazing. Glassblowing is a magical craft and the artwork that Lee and his team…read moreperform/create at The Glass Forge is exceptional. We visit whenever we're in Southern Oregon and are never disappointed. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of visiting is that this is a working studio. Glass is blown almost every day and it's an engaging activity to watch. Perusing the gallery or watching new items being created is a great way to start to understand what you might like (or imagine broader possibilities than you might have walking in). If you're new to blown glass or merely curious, an entry point is their Orbs - which are amazing upgrades to any Christmas trees. Their amazing range of colors and gorgeous swirled patterns are spellbinding in the way they catch the lights on your tree. And that's only the beginning. If that's not your holiday, they have pumpkins, snowpeople and a range of other entertaining options. Beyond the holiday wares, they have a diversity of glassware ranging from beautiful wine stems and champagne flutes to chunkier highballs, daily tableware and a vast array of other vessels of every shape/size/color/pattern/wow. And then there's the artwork. This is where things get truly impressive. They have an array of vases and bowls in different shape/size/color/pattern/wow and a wider variety of broader glass artwork too diverse to describe here. These make unique, exceptional gifts that to lean into when your recipient deserves something which transcends what you might find in our homogenous world of online shopping. Custom artwork is not inexpensive, but we find the prices very reasonable for the quality of the products offered. Concerned about the treasure you find not making it home in your plane/train/automobile? In addition to being master craftsmen of glassblowing, they are ninja packagers of their wares. We have trusted them to ship our treasures home several times (including this trip) and have never been disappointed. The Glass Forge is an experience. The master craftsmen working there are gifted. Their products are works of art. Visiting is an opportunity not to be missed.

    Met up with family in Grants Pass. We decided we want to try glass blowing…read more Cool place, amazing people- great experience. The hardest part was selecting what color glass you wanted. There were a variety of color choices and for me the best part was loads of glass to look at to get a visual idea. We go back and we have Keegan as our instructor. He's amazing. he's very patient super knowledgeable, and parting knowledge while giving instruction. When you select your item to make be aware that some items are former complex and others. One of the members in our group made the paperweight. It was a fascinating process to watch however, it was a lot of work. I did a pumpkin and it turned out so much better than I could've ever imagined. I would definitely come back here again
