Step up to Salem’s newest art-viewing opportunity. Level 2 Gallery, located on — as you might imagine — the upper level of the Salem Convention Center (SCC), aims to highlight Oregon artists.
Level 2’s first exhibition features a collection of mixed media work created by Salem artist Kristin Kuhns, which are on display through May 31, 2022. (Read more in the Press Play Salem "Record" column on page 24).
Curated by the Oregon Artists Series Foundation (OASF), Level 2 will feature changing exhibitions of work by established and emerging artists of the region. The gallery builds upon OASF’s growing partnership with SCC, which includes facilitating art in and around the center including the sculpture south of the building.
OASF was created in 2008 to promote art in public spaces in Salem. In addition to the opening of Level 2 Gallery, OASF is building a new partnership with the Salem Library Foundation to bring more art to the Salem Public Library beginning in 2022.
“The Oregon Artists Series Foundation has worked with the Convention Center to make art a valuable part of our visitor experience since we opened. The new Level 2 Gallery will be a wonderful addition to our facility moving forward,” said Chrissie Bertsch, General Manager. “We love being able to showcase artists of our region in our large space that has so many different users.”
Level 2 Gallery is open to the public during regular business hours Monday through Friday, as well as special events or by appointment by calling 503-589-1700. Learn more at oregonartistsseries.com.
