Oregon Arts Commission awards $1.3 million in Sustaining Arts Program grants to 317 organizations statewide
SALEM — The Oregon Arts Commission has awarded more than $1.3 million in grants to 317 arts and culture organizations across Oregon through its Sustaining Arts Program for fiscal year 2027.
The Sustaining Arts Program supports nonprofit arts organizations that offer ongoing, high-quality outreach programs and arts services or artistic programming in their communities. Awards are based on a funding formula that considers an organization’s annual expenses, the number of applications received and available grant funds. This fiscal year—from July 2026-June 2027—grant awards range from $1,000 to $18,000.
“Arts and culture is part of the vibrancy of Oregon - sparking discovery, conversation and connection,” said Oregon First Lady Aimee Kotek Wilson. “These grant awards are a vital investment in creating access to arts and culture for all Oregonians.”
“We know there’s a multiplier effect in providing funding support for arts and culture,” said Oregon Arts and Culture Director Amy Lewin. “These organizations energize local economies and their communities by providing cultural opportunities in every corner of the state. We’re pleased to support their ongoing work.”
Funds for this grant program are provided by the state of Oregon general fund through its support of the Oregon Arts Commission and by the National Endowment for the Arts through a grant to the Arts Commission.
Grant category key:
Group A Organizations with annual expenses of less than $150,000.
Group B Organizations with annual expenses equal to or greater than $150,000.

U.S. Attorney's Office - District of Oregon - 10/13/26 3:18 PM
PORTLAND, Ore.— A Granite Bay, California, man pleaded guilty today to cyberstalking his ex‑girlfriend and posting sexually explicit photos of her online.
Jason David Campos, 44, pleaded guilty to stalking and aggravated identity theft.
According to court documents, Campos harassed his ex‑girlfriend from 2009 to 2023 by posting intimate images and personal information about her online without her consent. He created social media and forum accounts using her name and, in some cases, encouraged others to contact or harass her.
In 2021, Campos created an email account using the victim’s maiden name and used it to impersonate her and obtain her confidential legal file. Later that year, he sent intimate images of the victim to her attorney from the same account.
In 2022, Campos sent emails to an account belonging to the victim, attempting to confirm her identity and referencing a minor family member whose name he obtained from her legal file. In 2023, he used an instant messaging app to distribute intimate images of the victim to strangers and directed them to contact an email account he controlled that had previously belonged to the victim.
On April 9, 2025, a federal grand jury in Portland indicted Campos on charges of stalking, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Under the plea agreement, Campos pleaded guilty to stalking and aggravated identity theft.
Campos has agreed to pay full restitution to the victim and to her attorney for services provided in response to the fraudulent records request.
Campos faces a maximum of five years in prison for stalking and a mandatory two‑year consecutive sentence for aggravated identity theft, along with fines and supervised release terms.
Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2027, before a U.S. District Court judge.
“Today’s plea sends a clear message that those who use the internet to harass, intimidate and exploit others will be held accountable,” said U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford. “We remain committed to protecting victims of online abuse and ensuring offenders face the full consequences of their actions.”
The FBI investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory R. Nyhus is prosecuting the case, with support from Assistant U.S. Attorney Mira Chernick.

Oregon Dept. of Forestry - 10/13/26 12:53 PM
TILLAMOOK STATE FOREST, Ore. — The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) worked with the non-profit Trash No Land to make major improvements to the four shooting lanes at Wolf Creek in the Tillamook State Forest. They reopened the lanes this month after being closed for several weeks to complete the work.
“The improvements include increased yardage at the lanes, packed gravel walkways and staging areas, new signage, and fire and other safety improvements,” said Ben Burns, Recreation Facilities Manager for ODF’s State Forests Division. “Thanks to the $30,000 raised by Trash No Lands we were able to get all this work done in just a few weeks.”
One of the most notable improvements was the increased yardage for the lanes.
“The number one ask from target shooters using the lanes was increased yardage,” said Bill Cogley, president and co-founder of Trash No Land.
Lane 1 was 35 yards, and now it’s 120 yards. Lane 2 was 24 yards, and now it’s 70 yards, Lane 3 was 60 yards plus the 16-yard pistol berm, and it’s now 70 yards with the pistol berm slightly longer at 18 yards, Lane 4 was 80 yards and is now 106 yards.
“The 100-yard distance is important because that’s what most hunters and target shooters use to sight in their rifles,” said Cogley. “What people were doing is setting their target way up the backstops in areas with a lot of vegetation to get the 100-yards. During summer that was a big safety concern since those rounds had the potential to start fires.”
Cogley and Burns are confident the new 100-yard plus lanes will greatly reduce that hazard.
“We also did a lot of vegetation management before the contractor started work,” said Burns. “Crews from South Fork Forest Camp (SFFC) cleared out brush and dry vegetation on the sides and back of the lanes to improve fire safety.”
SFFC is jointly run by ODF and the Department of Corrections and does many construction and maintenance projects in Tillamook State Forest. They also provide trained fire crews during wildfire season.
The other big improvement at the lanes was the addition of gravel.
“These lanes often were a muddy mess six-to-eight months out of the year,” said Cogley. “It made it inconvenient and messy to stand and walk out to set up and retrieve targets. So, some folks were kind of lazy and didn’t want to walk through the mud to pick up their used targets and pack out their other trash if it was wet and muddy. Now the lanes have gravel walkways out to set up the targets and gravel behind the Jersey barriers where folks shoot from. Our hope is this will greatly reduce the trash left at the ranges.”
Although the walkways are not ADA compliant, they do provide better wheelchair access.
“One of our board members uses a wheelchair so he was an advocate for making the walkways easy to use for those with mobility issues,” said Cogley. “The compacted gravel makes that possible now.”
The other improvement was better informational signage.
“Increased use of visuals on the signs make them quicker and easier to read and the repaired wood kiosks at each lane should make them more durable,” said Burns
Trash No Land also repainted the concrete Jersey barriers with a camouflage design, scrubbed graffiti off of boulders and picked up trash.
“Our hope is with all these improvements the estimated 25,000 yearly users of the lanes will take better care of them,” said Cogley. “Without a doubt these are the best public land shooting lanes in the entire Northwest which is why you see so many shooters out here.”
Cogley appreciates the 10-year working relationship with ODF.
“Our non-profit became official back in 2017, and we started it because of ODF’s willingness to listen, work and improve Wolf Creek in a collaborative manner. It’s truly a win-win for everyone.”
For more information about volunteer opportunities, see the Trash No Land website.
For current regulations, updates and closures, visit the Tillamook State Forest target shooting website or contact the ODF Forest Grove office at (503) 357-2191.
For more information about Trash No Land and volunteer opportunities, see the Trash No Land website.
Attached Media Files: Thanks to the non-profit Trash No Lands who put more than $30,000 toward improvements at Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes recreational shooters now have longer lanes, gravel staging areas, gravel walkways, new informational signs, repainted Jersey barriers and improved backstops. Two of the lanes are now more than 100-yards long. This is a big change since most rifle hunters and target shooters prefer to sight-in and target shoot their firearms at that 100-yard distance. , ODF repaired the kiosks and made new informational signs to help target shooters use the lanes in a safe and fire-wise manner. It’s estimated 25,000 people use the ranges each year. The lanes are open every day from dawn until dusk, unless there are fire or maintenance closures. There are no fees to use the lanes. , Adults in custody work crews from South Fork Forest Camp cleared the sides and backstop areas of all four shooting lanes. This fire mitigation was a critical first step before other improvements were made at Wolf Creek. South Fork Forest Camp, in the Tillamook State Forest, is jointly run by ODF and the Department of Corrections. , The lane 3 area at the Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes is now 70-yards and 18-yards. The shorter lane is typically used for target shooting with a pistol. The reworked backstops improve safety and help minimize wildfire starts. , In 2015 Wolf Creek was just a common use dispersed shooting area in the Tillamook State Forests. ODF staff and a group of volunteer target shooters develop a plan and began work in the area in 2016. Some of those volunteers formed the non-profit Trash No Land and has been working with ODF the last 10 years to make improvements and maintain the shooting lanes.

Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) - 10/12/26 12:42 PM
|
Participants in the State Emergency Coordination Center during the 2024 State Level Exercise. |
SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) is conducting its 2026 State Level Exercise, Getting Through Lahar’d Times, this week, October 13–16, bringing together state agencies, counties, Tribes, and community partners to test Oregon’s ability to recover from a major volcanic eruption.
Unlike most state-level exercises—which traditionally emphasize short-term disaster response—this year’s exercise focuses on long-term recovery, offering Oregon a rare opportunity to test its newly adopted Oregon Disaster Recovery Base Plan. Few states have the chance to meaningfully exercise recovery operations at this scale, making Getting Through Lahar’d Times an exceptional milestone for statewide preparedness.
This exercise is also the first in Oregon to integrate community members as special observers and evaluators, including volunteers, representatives from organizations active in disasters, and individuals connected with under resourced communities. Their involvement reflects OEM’s commitment to building a Ready and Resilient Oregon through whole community participation.
“I want to thank our community advising partners serving as special evaluators,” OEM Director Erin McMahon, said. “Your perspectives play a vital role in helping us understand how well the State Recovery Plan supports and includes the whole community. Your feedback will help us improve Oregon’s recovery strategies and make them stronger and more equitable. This is a first for Oregon and is emblematic of OEM's vision of a Ready and Resilient Oregon. Thank you especially to the leadership of Natasha Fox, Robert Quinn, and Quinn Butler, who worked toward a creative solution to develop this partnership.”
A Statewide Exercise Built for Whole Community Engagement
As Oregon observes International Emergency Manager Awareness Month, agencies and partners statewide are preparing to practice the transition from emergency response to long-term recovery. Using a realistic volcanic eruption scenario, participants will:
- Conduct damage assessments
- Transition from response to recovery operations
- Set statewide recovery objectives
- Develop a State Recovery Action Plan
- Coordinate resource allocation under the Oregon Disaster Recovery Base Plan
Local, Tribal, and community partners are essential to the exercise’s success, bringing cultural context, local operational realities, and community specific needs into the planning environment.
“The value of these exercises is that they let us practice the hardest days of a disaster without the consequences of an actual event," Robert Quinn, OEM exercise officer, said. “We learn what works, what needs strengthening, and how we can better support communities when the real thing happens.”
Building on Lessons Learned
Oregon has a long history of using state level exercises to prepare for large and complex disasters.
- Cascadia Rising 2016 examined the first 72 hours after a simulated Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.
- IronOR24 expanded the play into days four through seven, helping responders practice sustained operations and refine their transition into recovery.
The 2026 exercise now advances this progression by exercising recovery coordination—a phase rarely tested in statewide training.
“Every exercise is an investment in Oregon’s resilience,” McMahon said. “Our communities expect us to be prepared, and these statewide efforts help us strengthen the systems and relationships we rely on in a disaster.”
It is the mission of the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) to lead collaborative, statewide efforts to support Oregon’s communities before, during and after emergencies, with a vision to create a ready and resilient Oregon. OEM prioritizes an equitable and inclusive culture of preparedness that empowers all Oregonians to thrive in times in crisis. For more information about OEM, visit oregon.gov/oem.

Oregon Dept. of Forestry - 10/12/26 9:30 AM
SALEM, Ore. — Oregon is working to reduce wildfire risk, improve forest health, and protect communities by investing $10 million in projects that are part of the Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) landscape resiliency approach.
The current grant awards will fund joint projects in Douglas, Grant, Jackson, and Josephine counties. The projects will reduce hazardous fuels, restore fire-adapted landscapes, and improve landscape resilience across more than 6,400 acres.
Forest Resources Division Chief Josh Barnard said, “with more than 2 million acres burned by wildfires in Oregon so far in 2026, this work has become more important than ever. Every responsibly managed acre helps reduce wildfire risk around communities and improves the long-term health of Oregon’s forests and rangelands.”
The ODF landscape resiliency effort is Oregon’s primary all-lands investment hub to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires before fires even start. This approach supports efforts across public, private, and Tribal lands that are part of Oregon’s 20-year landscape resiliency strategy. The goal is to coordinate and complete landscape-scale work that helps forests and protects communities.
This year’s investments continue Oregon’s commitment to put wildfire risk reduction and landscape resiliency dollars to work where it matters most – on the ground.
“This year’s projects demonstrate what can get done when local communities, landowners, Tribes, federal agencies and partners work toward shared goals – protecting our communities and stewarding natural resources,” said Barnard.
ODF is focusing on larger forest resiliency by reducing tree density in some areas and planting better adapted trees in others.
“ODF is improving methods to enhance landscape resiliency to better protect our forests from large disturbance events,” said ODF Forest Entomologist Christine Buhl. “We are building tools to better diagnose problems and offering strategies and resources to landowners to help them do adaptive management. This includes metrics to help identify site and climate conditions and where stress is predicted. These tools and identification processes are a part of how we prepare and recover from stress from heat and droughts, insect pests and diseases, and wildfires.”
The projects funded in this round include:
- Douglas County
ODF will invest $1.29 million through the Little River Landscape Resiliency Project. This project will create strategic fuel breaks along Lane Mountain, the Little River drainage and Cavitt Creek. These breaks will improve firefighter access and reduce wildfire intensity in high-risk areas.
- Josephine and Jackson counties
The two southern Oregon counties will see $4.85 million invested through the Hotshot Rx Connect project. This project will thin forest stands and use prescribed fire across almost 2,700 acres. The work will reduce hazardous fuels, restore forest health, and improve wildfire response access.
- Grant County
ODF is investing $3.46 million into the John Day Landscape Resiliency Project. The work will include thinning forests, removing junipers that compete with more valuable timber trees for water, and planning ongoing wildfire risk reduction across 3,400 acres. The plan will reduce wildfire risk and improve landscape resilience. One example is a 57-acre prescribed burn of thinned areas on private ponderosa pine forest near Monument. That burn was carried out by the Prescribed Burn Association, a collaboration that included OSU, ODF, Soil and Water Conservation Service, and local landowners.
This year’s investment lays the groundwork for future success. The funds will help develop new landscape plans that align priorities among the USDA Forest Stewardship Program, Natural Resources Conservation Service, ODF, and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. These plans pinpoint priority landscapes, improve coordination, and guide investments.
ODF continues to strengthen this all-lands investment approach with ongoing funding and better coordination between local ODF districts, other public agencies, tribes, private landowners and local communities to identify and complete the highest-priority projects.
Beyond funding individual treatments, ODF bridges state and federal programs through collaborative planning, leveraging investments, and coordinating cross-boundary work to produce larger, more meaningful impacts.
An example of this coordinated work is the Central Oregon Shared Stewardship Project. Partners in the project, including ODF and multiple soil and water conservation districts among others, thinned ponderosa pine forest and cut brush along roadsides near Black Butte Ranch. After the work was complete, this summer the 27,491-acre Akawa Butte Fire came through, burning part of the treated area.
“Because of the work done in this area, firefighters were able to fight the fire from safer places along roads where there was less fuel,” said ODF’s State Initiatives Grant Coordinator Jenna Nelson. “It also allowed fire fighters to immediately backburn the treated land without having to prepare it first, saving precious time. The back burns consumed fuel ahead of the advancing fire front, stopping it in those areas. Because treated areas burned with lower intensity, they will also have a better chance at recovering, with a high percentage of trees surviving.”
Landowners and partners interested in participating in future landscape resiliency projects are encouraged to contact their local ODF office.

Oregon Dept. of Forestry - 10/09/26 9:00 AM
Salem, Ore. – The Oregon Department of Forestry understands that with wildfire regulations changing at the city, county and state level, knowing what the fire restrictions are in your area may be confusing. Here are some quick Q&As to help clear up some of that confusion.
When can I burn my yard debris?
Across Oregon there are multiple jurisdictions that vary from city to county to state to federal, and each may have different restrictions on fire. While in fire season, debris burning is prohibited on ODF-protected lands. But what if you’re outside of ODF jurisdiction?
The easiest way to look up if it is safe to burn your yard debris is to visit beforeyouburn.net. The Before You Burn program simplifies and coordinates burns and provides real-time information to ensure the safety of Oregon’s communities. The online system empowers community members with the knowledge they need to comply with local regulations and burn responsibly.
What if I want to have a campfire?
Oregon is well known for its beautiful landscapes and forests, making outdoor recreation one of the most popular pastimes in the state. To keep these beautiful forests, it’s important to check the local regulations of the area or the regulations at state or national park you’re camping in. Campfires may be allowed but only in designated sites and, depending on fire danger, they may not be allowed at all.
Regulations may vary depending on where you are, so using the public resources available will make planning your trip much easier.
- Look up ODF fire regulations before recreating.
- Oregon State Parks has a trip planning tool that will give you all the information you need to know about the campsite you’re staying at.
- Find the national forest you’re visiting and plan ahead.
- Learn about the different recreation activities and campground restrictions on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
The common theme, especially during this time of year, is to check local regulations before you go. Taking that extra step will help protect Oregon’s forests from wildfire and keep them open for recreation.
What about the prescribed fires around me? Is that safe?
Prescribed burning is a valuable tool for maintaining a healthy forest, reducing wildfire smoke and reducing risks to public safety. These fires are thoroughly planned throughout the year to meet ecological objectives and are only lit when weather and fuel conditions are favorable to protect sensitive communities and areas from their smoke. If conditions change and are deemed unfavorable, the burn is postponed.
Oregon State Police - 10/09/26 8:34 AM
JOSEPHINE COUNTY, Ore. (9 October 2026) – On October 1, 2026, Andrew Forrest Odom, 67, of Incline Village, Nevada, was reported missing to the Medford Police Department.
The initial investigation found Odom had traveled from Carson City, Nevada, to Medford on September 21, 2026. His last known whereabouts were in Josephine County on September 22, 2026. As the investigation progressed into Josephine County and suspicious circumstances were identified, the investigation was transferred to the Oregon State Police and the Josephine County Major Crime Team was activated.
On October 6, 2026, OSP detectives contacted a subject during the follow-up investigation in the 10000 block of Williams Highway in rural Josephine County. During the contact, the subject fled into a residence and fired shots at detectives. Tactical resources from the Grants Pass Police Department and the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area.
After officers cleared the residence, two deceased individuals with apparent gunshot wounds were located inside. The Medford Police Department led the investigation into the shooting. The deceased were identified as Rick Odom, 73, and his son, Spencer Odom, 40. Spencer Odom died from a self-inflicted gunshot. Rick Odom was the brother of missing person Andrew Odom.
On October 8, 2026, detectives, assisted by the Oregon State Police Crime Lab, located human remains buried on the property where the shooting occurred. The remains were identified as Andrew Odom.
The investigation is ongoing.
The Josephine County Major Crime Team consists of members from the Oregon State Police, Grants Pass Police Department, Josephine County Sheriff’s Office, and Josephine County District Attorney’s Office. The team is being assisted by the Medford Police Department and the Oregon State Police Crime Lab.

Oregon Parks and Recreation Dept. - 10/09/26 8:21 AM
Trails will be closed starting mid- and late October.
Port Orford, Ore. – Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is conducting several land and forest management projects in October. This is a regular part of OPRD’s stewardship and supports healthy ecosystems.
Check the park pages linked below for updates.
Humbug Mountain Trail will be closed for about two weeks starting Monday, Oct. 19. OPRD is managing a sudden oak death infestation in tanoak. Sudden oak death is an invasive pathogen that causes tanoak to die. The treatment is necessary to remove the infected and dead tanoak to reduce the spread of sudden oak death within the park and surrounding areas.
Within the 21-acre treatment area all tanoak will be cut down and the tree stumps will be treated with herbicide to limit resprouting. This treatment will also reduce the chances of wildfire risk by removing the unhealthy and dead trees. Initially discovered in Oregon in 2001, this pathogen spread within Curry County affecting private, state, and federal landowners.
The horse trail system will be closed for about three weeks starting Monday, Oct. 26. OPRD is reducing tree density within this area to enhance habitat, specifically to support the state and federally listed endangered western lily.
This work will take place across 34 acres and include removing tree seedings, saplings and other trees to allow more meadow species to thrive and reduce encroachment in the sensitive western lily area.
U.S. Attorney's Office - District of Oregon - 10/08/26 2:50 PM
MEDFORD, Ore.—A Grants Pass, Oregon, man pleaded guilty today to illegally possessing a gun he stole in a burglary, announced U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford for the District of Oregon.
Matthew Bertrand, 45, pleaded guilty to felon in possession of a firearm. Bertrand is a felon, having been previously convicted five other times for burglary and theft.
According to court documents, on January 5, 2024, Central Point Police responded to a burglary in progress. A witness told police that the witness saw a man wearing a black ski mask, a black jacket, and blue jeans jump the fence and go inside a home.
When police arrived and spoke to the homeowner, they saw Bertrand flee through the back of the home. Police caught Bertrand after chasing him through multiple backyards. Bertrand had a black ski mask. Police recovered the gun belonging to the homeowner in the area where Bertrand ran.
Bertrand admitted to "rob[bing] the house", stealing the gun, and being in the victim's house on a prior occasion because the owner had "lots of toys."
On June 6, 2024, a federal grand jury in Medford returned a two-count indictment charging Bertrand with felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm. He will be sentenced on March 11, 2027, before U.S. District Court Judge Kasubhai.
Bertrand faces a maximum of life with a mandatory minimum of fifteen years’ imprisonment as an armed career criminal. He also faces a fine of $250,000, up to three years of supervised release, and a $100 fee assessment.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Medford Police Department, and Central Point Police Department are investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Judi Harper is prosecuting the case.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is the Department of Justice’s nationwide initiative that brings federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, prosecutors, and other public safety partners together to coordinate efforts to combat violent crime and make communities safe. Coordinated by U.S. Attorneys’ offices in each of the 94 federal districts, PSN is tailored to particular communities to strategically address specific violent crime and public safety challenges. As a key component of Operation Take Back America, PSN serves a central role in the Department’s commitment to make our country safe. PSN emphasizes three core principles: rapid federal response to violent crime and criminal offenders; strong, strategic partnerships among law enforcement at all levels; and accountability and deterrence through the prosecution of the most serious, readily provable offenses and other strategies. These efforts complement and strengthen President Trump’s Homeland Security Task Forces, ensuring a comprehensive federal response to the most pressing public safety issues facing communities.

Oregon joins in the celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) this October. It’s a time to celebrate the contributions people with disabilities make in workplaces and recognize businesses that recruit and hire employees with disabilities.
This year’s theme of “celebrating value and talent” is reflected in Oregon throughout the year in the countless ways people with disabilities bring value to their jobs and communities.
“Our communities and economy are stronger when the talents and strengths of people with disabilities are part of the workforce,” said Allison Enriquez, Oregon’s Employment First Coordinator. “Working is also a cornerstone to people’s independence, well-being and community connection.”
In Oregon, the employment rate for working-age people with disabilities increased about 10 percentage points between 2015 and 2023, from about 37.8% to 47.7%, according to the Center for Research on Disability. Despite this progress, a substantial employment gap remains: in 2023, 47.7% of Oregonians with disabilities ages 18 to 64 were employed, compared with 79.7% of Oregonians without disabilities.
“This progress speaks to the strong supports Oregon put in place to help people with disabilities enter and stay in the workforce,” Enriquez said. “However, there is still work to do. Oregon is committed to ensuring employment supports remain strong so everyone has access to reach their potential and fully participate in their communities.”
NDEAM webinar series
Partners who deliver employment services invite everyone to join a series of webinars in October to celebrate workplace successes and educate the community about resources and services available for job seekers with disabilities.
Webinars are scheduled Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Zoom. For details on each session and accessibility information, go to Oregon’s NDEAM event web page.

- Oct. 20 – What is ableism and why it matters in the workplace
- Oct. 27 – Technology in employment: How assistive technology and AI can support people with disabilities at work
- Nov. 3 – Peer2Peer: An award-winning employment mentorship program for students with disabilities
These events are hosted by the Oregon’s Department of Human Services (ODHS) Office of Developmental Disabilities Services and Vocational Rehabilitation program, Oregon Commission for the Blind and the Oregon Department of Education.

Art in the Governor’s Office Presents Painter Nancy Watterson Scharf
Exhibition Convergence: Our World Through Nature’s Eye, paintings by Nancy Watterson Scharf, gives nature a voice in Oregon’s landscapes
SALEM, Oregon — The Office of the Governor, in partnership with the Oregon Arts Commission, will open the third exhibition in the 2026 Art in the Governor’s Office series on Friday, October 9, featuring the work of Oregon painter Nancy Watterson Scharf. Her work will be on display in the Governor’s Gallery (formerly the Ceremonial Office reception room) through February 26, 2027.
Art in the Governor’s Office brings the works of some of Oregon’s most distinguished artists to the state Capitol. This longstanding tradition, which began in 1975 and celebrates the diverse creativity of Oregon’s professional visual artists, relaunched this year following a pause due to the pandemic and the restoration of the Capitol building. The 2026 series opened with an exhibition by photographer Harrison Branch and continued with the paintings and prints of Erik Sandgren.
For more than a decade, Watterson Scharf has painted the plants and animals that share her rural Oregon surroundings. Working primarily in acrylic, she overlaps wild and human-made elements to create a conversation among multiple points of view, providing what she describes as “a voice for nature.” Her paintings are held in public and private collections including the City of Portland, Southern Oregon University, Mercy Medical Center and Umpqua Community College.
“We’re proud to share the works of Nancy Watterson Scharf, whose artistry invites us to look more closely at the natural world,” Oregon First Lady Aimee Kotek Wilson said. “Bringing Oregon’s artists into the Capitol highlights for all the creativity, diversity and vibrancy of our amazing state.”
Watterson Scharf’s Art in the Governor’s Office exhibition is titled Convergence: Our World Through Nature’s Eye. Drawn from more than a decade of work, the paintings overlap coastal rainforests, desert wetlands and riverine environments, often placing human structures and figures within the landscape as faint presences. Rooted in specific Oregon places, the works ask viewers to weigh the perceptual limits that, in Scharf’s words, make us ghosts to one another.
Watterson Scharf grew up on a farm outside Salem and has spent her life in rural Oregon. She studied art at the University of Oregon, where she earned a teaching degree in 1971, and worked for years as an art instructor in Central Oregon before leaving teaching in 2005 to paint full time. In 2006, she relocated to the Southern Oregon coast range, where she lives along the Umpqua River near Elkton.
“I am astounded by the beauty and truth that I discover in the ordinary,” Watterson Scharf said. “By overlapping landscapes, I give nature a voice.”
Watterson Scharf has exhibited in solo, invitational and juried shows across the Pacific Northwest since 2000. She took first place at the Coos Art Museum’s Expressions West in 2019. She also received a Ford Family Foundation Oregon Visual Artist residency at Playa in 2017 and a second Playa residency in 2024.
“We humans are part of social communities and part of nature at the same time, but we don’t seem to know it,” Watterson Scharf said. “Consciously or unconsciously, we are profoundly part of the intricate ecosystem in which we exist.”
Public Access
The Governor’s Gallery is viewable most Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitation information is available at 503-986-1388.
The Art in the Governor’s Office Program honors selected artists in Oregon with exhibitions in the Governor’s Gallery in the state Capitol. Artists are nominated by a statewide committee of arts professionals who consider representing the breadth and diversity of artistic practice across Oregon. These nominations are then considered by the Oregon Arts Commission with the participation of the Governor’s Office. Only professional, living Oregon artists are eligible, and an exhibition in the Governor’s Office is recognized as a once-in-a-lifetime honor. Artists whose work has previously been shown in the Governor’s Office include Henk Pander, Michele Russo, Manuel Izquierdo, James Lavadour, Margot Thompson, Gordon Gilkey and Yuji Hiratsuka.
The Oregon Arts Commission provides leadership, arts programs and funding for nonprofits and artists through its grants, special initiatives and services. Commissions appointed by the Governor establish policies and provide advisory support for public investment in the arts. Nested within Business Oregon, the Arts Commission is supported with funds appropriated by the Oregon Legislature, as well as by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Oregon Cultural Trust.
