Coos Art Museum

With so many places to look at art on the Oregon coast, there is only one art museum. Located in downtown Coos Bay in the heart of Oregon’s South Coast, the museum is a leader in the exhibition of local art and art education. The museum’s collections reflect our region’s rich culture and explore the visual world through color and medium.

Exhibitions and education offerings change frequently throughout the year. Come by when you can to see a show or take a class before it is gone!

Student Biennial 2026

The Student Biennial is a gathering of imagination and possibility, bringing together the creative voices of students from kindergarten through eighth grade across our region.

Happening every other year, the exhibit presents more than artworks. The exhibit presents ways of seeing. Each piece holds a moment of curiosity, risk, and discovery, shaped by young hands learning how ideas become form.

Curated in a shared space, the Student Biennial honors process as much as product. These are not early drafts of future artists alone, but fully present expressions of young people thinking, feeling, and making sense of the world.
