About

The Oregon Arts Project, established in August 2013, is an effort to raise awareness about the existence, history, meaning and context of art in Oregon, and to develop detailed articles for individual artists, arts organizations and works. Other tasks completed by project members may involve geolocation, historical research, list creation or photography. The Oregon Arts Project serves as a task force for several WikiProjects, including WikiProject Oregon and WikiProject Public Art. Branches of the project include:

The project's Resources page is a repository for references, including links to local arts commissions.
