Artist Retreat

The Silver Heron Gallery in cooperation with the Wade J. Woodmark Foundation have established an artist retreat program in memory of Wade Woodmark.

The Wade J. Woodmark Home and Studio located at 55 Bay St. overlooking the spectacular Depoe Bay Harbor has become an important destination for artists looking to partake in the beauty and spirit of our magnificent Oregon Coast.

Our program is designed to provide ample working space in an artistically stimulating setting where an artist may work free from the distractions and responsibilities of day-to-day life.

It is our goal to have the artist return home having been productive in creating his or her work, with inspiration for future works, and that the overall experience will be one that is cherished for a lifetime.

Donations of artwork will be sold to fund the expansion of the retreat program.

No meals are provided, but restaurants and grocery stores are conveniently located in Depoe Bay as well as the nearby towns of Newport and Lincoln City.

The Retreat encourages emerging, as well as established artists to apply. Artists are welcome to apply individually. It is anticipated that the majority of the applicant’s principle areas of interest will be painting, drawing, sculpting and photography.
