Home to exquisite artistry located in the heart of stunning Florence, Oregon.
About The River Gallery
Our gallery is located in Historic Old Town Florence, Oregon, overlooking the beautiful Siuslaw River on the breathtaking Oregon coast. Known for it’s thriving art scene, our town has become home to many well-known PNW artists; many of whom showcase their work in our gallery.
The gallery was founded by long-time Florence residents, Jan and Brian Jagoe. Jan, an accomplished artist herself, envisioned a space for a wide array of local artists to display and celebrate their work. Her beautiful memory lives on in her gallery and in her loving family members who continue it on in her honor. Showcased in our monthly artist receptions, art walks, and open houses, The River Gallery has proudly become a vital component of the Florence art community.
In addition to the gallery, Jan started a scholarship program named “BE The Whale” to raise awareness of the endangered species around us and award young artists as they pursue further education.

The River Gallery features an exquisite collection by Pacific Northwest artists including photography, mixed media drawings, a wide variety of pit-fired pottery, ceramics, and blown glass including unique vases, tableware, and wine-toppers, oil and watercolor paintings, jewelry, stained-glass artwork, and hand-carved wooden pieces such as cutting boards, ornaments, walking sticks, and a local staple, lighthouses.
A focal point of our gallery is our large, hand-selected collection of the iconic Oregon hand-blown glass floats.
