Long House Studio is a gallery space recently opened
in Oregon City. Currently, it features local artists, primarily from
the Oregon City area.
The distinctive house, with its wrap-around columned porch, is located
in the heart of the historic McLaughlin neighborhood at the corner of
the newly remodeled 7th and Madison Streets. It is just a block up the
hill from the Carnegie Center. “It has also been our home for the
last eighteen years,” notes Steve Majors, owner.
There is a wide range of art—from fine oils to bronze works, mosaics,
jewelry, wood boxes, and wind chimes.
“Since we are such a small gallery space, it is a challenge to
offer the range of mediums and price points to fit a new Oregon City
gallery. Our walls are pretty full at this time, but we still have room
for small, three-dimensional art (think shelf space). We have finally
improved our lighting and a new sign is next in the works.
“We may be small, but that also allows us to offer that extra personal
tour to each customer that walks through the door.
“This spring, we will be creating a pea- graveled, outdoor space
for outside art. The fact that we also live on site gives us an extra
level of security for this outdoor space. We are currently looking for
more artists interested in our ‘sculpture garden’.
“We are a thirty percent gallery,” Steve says, “with
a pretty standard commission agreement, geared to protect the artist.”.
