Prisms Gallery
Lunaria Gallery
This gallery is one of the best finds in historic Silverton. Here, the owners sell a variety of local craftsmanship pieces and original arts. With new artisans' works appearing often, the gallery hosts opening receptions for new artists in the evenings. The unusual variety of original art makes this a must see for both local residents and visitors. It also acts as an incubation center for budding artists thereby providing them a platform and encouraging their talent.
Closing soon
