The Umpqua Valley Arts Association offers much to the community in terms of cultural and artistic opportunities during the summer months.
The annual Summer Arts Festival, held on the grounds of the Arts Center at 1624 W. Harvard Ave. in Roseburg, draws thousands of people every year. Hundreds of artists and a wide array of foods, beverages and entertainment in many forms have made this a Douglas County tradition.

The association manages the Umpqua Valley Arts Center and maintains three galleries. Besides the Hallie Brown Ford Gallery, the Gallery II and the new Red Gallery are used to stage smaller exhibits. Also housed in the Arts Center is the Gift Gallery, offering one-of-a-kind gifts made by a large variety of Oregon artists.
In addition, the association provides classes, workshops, an arts information library, recitals, cultural meeting rooms and an information outlet.
