There’s still time, but not much.

The Kelly Bartlett Brick Designs exhibit is only here through April 19, and it’s something you don’t want to miss.

This exhibit features everything from intricate mosaics to striking sculptures. Her work has earned national recognition, appeared in magazines, and was even featured on LEGO Masters Season 4.

Whether you’re a lifelong LEGO® fan or just looking for something inspiring and different, this is your last chance to see it in person.

The 2026 Breakfast Fundraiser will follow the same format as previous years and will take place on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, from 7:30–8:30 a.m., while the Student Biennial is on exhibit at the museum.

The museum’s Art Education Department provides youth programming across Coos County, including Coos Bay, Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point, North Bend, and Powers. With limited art education available in county schools, particularly before high school, the program helps fill critical gaps and supports all students, especially those interested in creative fields such as design, animation, and emerging technologies.

The museum invites supporters to save the date, participate as donors at hosted tables, and attend the breakfast to enjoy program updates, conversation, and an exhibit of student artwork. Guests typically contribute $150–$200, with options to donate in advance, at the event, or jointly with others.

Funds raised in 2026 will support ongoing youth art programs, including museum art activities, expanded outreach throughout Coos County, and scholarships to help cover participation costs. The expanded outreach aims to increase access to art education beyond Coos Bay.

Please call the museum at 541-267-3901 to RSVP!

Something mysterious is happening at the museum this Saturday and you are invited!

Join us from 5:00–7:00 PM for a Murder Mystery Dinner. The actors have been chosen, the story is set, and before the night is over we will reveal who committed the crime. Watch the suspects carefully, follow the clues, and see if you can solve the mystery before the final reveal.

Dinner will be prepared by Common Ground Catering and features chicken marsala, garlic mashed potatoes, fresh salad, and dinner rolls. It’s the perfect combination of great food and live entertainment.

We have just a few audience tickets left. For $40, you’ll enjoy dinner and a show — and an unforgettable night out.

Tickets can be purchased on our website, so secure your seat before they’re gone. If you need weekend plans, this is it.

In addition to all the supplies provided, we will have prompts and oracle card examples to help aid you on your collage journey.

We will also have a complimentary loose leaf tea bar, accompanied by an assortment of cookies from So it Goes Coffeehouse.

Set your intentions for the blooming of the year! Create a one-of-a-kind oracle card deck to help inspire your creativity and allow joy back into the year through art!

Spring Break 2026!

CAM Studio has an exciting 2-day spring Break planned for kids ages 8-13.

We will be learning how to make a small weaving project using various materials like yarn, fabric, and other scrap materials. Artists will then take those skills and create a community weaving wall in the CAM Studio.

Learn about the art of self-portraits, and create a GIANT one with acrylic paint, crayons, and other mixed media materials.

Finally, Spring Break artists will be the first to enter our upcoming Post-It Note Art Show coming up later this year!

Bring a sack lunch and join us for our 2-day Spring Break event! $35 fee covers both days!
