Level 2 Gallery
The Level 2 Gallery at the Salem Convention Center opened in February 2022 and builds on the 15 year relationship that the Oregon Artists Series Foundation has had to bring high quality contemporary art to the Center. With major paintings by Salem and Oregon artists installed in the main corridors on the first floor, Level 2 presents changing exhibits of work by established and emerging artists of the region on the second floor. Exhibits range from solo to group or thematic shows.
Level 2 continues our work with the Convention Center and acknowledges that the contemporary art in the building adds to the visitor experience. The gallery is open to the public during regular business hours.
Later in 2022, OASF entered into a new partnership with the Salem Public Library to program exhibits for its Art Hall that complement what is shown at Level 2. The Art Hall shows are free and open to the public whenever the library is open.
Exhibits in the Level 2 Gallery are supported, in part, through a sponsorships from individuals and Salem-area businesses.
