Want to have an arty adventure? Head to Astoria to explore the vibrant local art scene on the Oregon coast. There’s an inspiring art scene in Astoria Oregon as it’s home to 13 local art galleries. I proposed a round-up highlighting each gallery, or I could pick one to feature. Here’s what you’ll find in this artsy town:
