About The Art Conspiracy

Art Conspiracy aims to encourage public participation in the arts and to promote educational and cultural programs in our various small, rural communities. We strive to support and encourage artist both young and old in the arts and crafts.

Our main focus has been providing an intensive two week summer arts program rotating through our communities directly after school is out in June. We cooperate with the local school district to use the school space where we offer some ten different classes each lasting 2 ½ hours daily for the duration of the two weeks. We hire professional artists and/or certified art teachers to instruct the classes of no more than ten students each.
The Art Conspiracy is undertaking an exciting new addition to its programming! For the first time we are initiating art classes for adults. These will be workshops of 3 or 4 weeks duration and each session will be 2 or 3 hours long depending on the instructor and medium requirements. We are working on adding more classes to the schedule for summer and fall.

We additionally strive to have an art presence in our communities. We do this by working with existing groups to enhance the work they are doing. For example, we encourage and facilitate young artists who wish to participate in local art shows by holding matting workshops. We provide additional awards for young people participating in the Daffodil Festival and we assist students with entries in the Sheridan Days Art show. We cooperate with the Willamina Chamber Group by organizing and gathering student entries from across the county for the Coastal Hills Student Art Show.
