New cycle of Windowfront Exhibitions returns with rotating public art installations in the City’s vacant storefronts, city officials say

Eugene, OR – According to the city officials, this series of installations, to be unveiled Feb. 2, marks the final season of exhibits in temporary locations as the program prepares to evolve. 

In 2020, Windowfront Exhibitions was developed in the darkest winter days of the pandemic as an initiative to support local artists and bring the vitality of art to the heart of Eugene.

The goal of the project was to partner with downtown property managers to refresh empty storefronts into temporary galleries and installation spaces for local artists and arts organizations to present their work.   

After more than three years, the program has met great success as most of these empty spaces are now rented and thriving as new local businesses. With vacant locations becoming scarce in downtown Eugene, the upcoming series will be the last to be displayed in storefront windows.

Later this year, the project will change course by securing new permanent public locations throughout the downtown area that have rotational exhibition opportunities for local, regional and national artists.
