To serve as the cultural anchor of downtown’s visual arts district by inviting citizens, students, and visitors to explore new vistas and expand their horizons.

This well-established gallery continues to inspire the community and to create new audiences through its display of visual art in its location at the heart of Eugene’s premier performance venue, the Hult Center for the Performing Arts.
Our Value Statements:
Ability to Inspire
* expand the audience for visual art
* create opportunities to view high-quality art and support professional-level artists
* encourage exploration and appreciation of visual art
* showcase a broad range of styles, formats, media, and techniques
* provide the catalyst for community-wide dialogs about visual art
* challenge assumptions about art
* display the rich legacy of art in our area
Capacity for Cultural Collaboration
* strengthen the connections between the visual and performing arts through our location in the Hult Center for the Performing Arts
* seek out new artists, resources, and ideas
* demonstrate an appreciation for diversity in our community
* further the expression of our community’s multicultural richness
* retain flexibility to keep pace with our region’s changing needs
* balance innovative approaches to visual art with sound fiscal decisions
* celebrate Lane County’s artists through the annual Mayor’s Art Show
Strength of Location and Physical Space
* provide the large and diverse audience of the Hult Center’s two performance halls with an inspiring space to visit during their events
* foster new audiences by making it easy for people to visit a gallery as part of another outing
* take advantage of the new energy this well-established organization has gained due to its recent change to independent, non-profit status
* use the gallery’s large walls, high ceiling, and open floor plan to display larger works that artists are often unable to show
* serve the Southern Willamette Valley and people who visit from out of town and out of state.
