More About UVAA

Want to Pay Us a Visit? We would love to meet you, let you take your free self guided tour of our six galleries, help you purchase a piece for your collection, connect you with other artists and art lovers, help you host an event in our facility, get you going on an art class and, well, just get you inspired to love the arts in your community! If you are ever here one fall evening, you only have to look up across the parking lot at our Clay Place building, and if you're lucky, you will see the Chimney Swifts spiraling in and out of the top of the old boiler system chimney!

Umpqua Valley Audubon and the City Parks and Recreation Department are hosting "Umpqua Swift Watch" on weeknights at dusk during September in the parking lot behind the Arts Center.

Check out this video of the swifts!
