The Artist Space
Building connections, creating opportunities, and celebrating local artists!
Welcome to The Artist Space: A Local Artist Hub! The Artist Space is a place for connection, community, and opportunities for local artists!
This past June, the Hult Center hosted our first Artist Mixer, bringing together creatives from across the community to share feedback and ideas about how we can better support the local arts ecosystem. We heard a strong call for the Hult Center to:
- Serve as an artistic hub
- Provide more opportunities for local artists
- Offer greater transparency on how to connect and collaborate
This page is our first step in responding to that feedback. Here you’ll find our public artist roster, content showcasing local artists, and opportunities.
Hult Center Artist Rosters
Out of our first Artist Mixer, we created both an internal and a public artist roster:
- Internal Roster – Used by our Programming Department as we plan future opportunities.
- Public Roster – A resource for community connection, collaboration, and creative partnership.
If you’d like to be included in either roster, we invite you to fill out the Artist Mixer Survey ( Artist Mixer Survey | Hult Center ). The survey allows you to share your information, provide feedback, and offer ideas on how we can continue to grow together.
Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene – Arts Guide
The ABAE Arts Guide is a resource for connecting with Eugene’s vibrant artistic community. From galleries and studios to musicians, performers, and nonprofits, our easy-to-navigate directory brings together the people and places shaping the city’s creative landscape.
Hult Sessions
Eugene is full of great music and we want to help local musicians share their music with a wider audience.
We are currently accepting submissions for our new series featuring local artists, The Eugene Scene.
Opportunities
As new opportunities arise at the Hult Center, we’ll share them here. Check back often for updates and stay tuned for the announcement of our next Artist Mixer—we’d love to see you there!
