The Arts Council of Lake Oswego, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was created in 1999 to ensure the arts are an integral part of the lives of the citizens of Lake Oswego. The Arts Council was formed by members of The Lake Oswego Arts Commission, a City Commission, to ensure a continuation of support for arts education, present exhibits, tours, lectures and to maintain the City of Lake Oswego’s permanent art collection. The “Gallery Without Walls” is Lake Oswego’s public art program, an award-winning outdoor sculpture exhibit on the streets of downtown Lake Oswego. It began in 2002 and today includes 30 rotating sculptures and 30 sculptures in the permanent collection; the city owns over 200 total pieces of public art in its permanent collection. Below is a gallery containing just a glimpse of what can be seen while exploring this beautiful city.
