Saturday, July 18, 2026

11:00am–5:00pm

$30.00

On Saturday, July 18, artists across Manzanita, Nehalem, and Wheeler open their studios for the day. It’s a self-guided tour, so you set your own pace and route, stopping wherever the work pulls you in. You’ll meet artists where they actually make their work, see pieces in progress, and have the chance to take something home. This is our third annual tour, and every ticket directly supports the Hoffman Center’s nonprofit arts programs.

Start at the Hoffman Center on the morning of July 18 to pick up your wristband and tour booklet (pickup is 10:00am–12:00pm). The booklet has studio addresses, directions, and a short introduction to each artist, so you can map out your day. From there, the day is yours. Visit as many studios as you like, in any order. The Hoffman Gallery will be open too, so it’s an easy place to start.

ARTISTS

Pam Greene, Christopher Belluschi, Nancy Bond, M.J. Anderson, Sherrie Wolf, Justin Bailie, Lloyd Lindley, Judy Lindley, Cathi Howell, Deborah DeWit, Mary Roberts, Shirl Ireland, Laura Ross-Paul, and Mathew Goodrich.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION: JOHN R. STAHL (1937–2017)

This year’s tour includes a special exhibition and sale of work by the late John R. Stahl. John’s family has donated a wide range of his work to the Hoffman Center, spanning oil painting, watercolor, printmaking, collage, carving, and sculpture. The sale runs July 18–19 in the workshop room behind the gallery, and all proceeds benefit the Hoffman Center.

Tickets are $30. One hundred percent of ticket sales support the Hoffman Center for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We never want cost to be the reason someone misses the tour, so if the price is a barrier, reach out to us at info@hoffmanarts.org and we’ll make arrangements.

Day-of tickets are usually available, but the tour can sell out, so we recommend buying ahead.

A few people have been asking, and YES we are open this week! Crops are really starting to take off, with more and more every week. We’ll be there with a full roster of vendors from 4-7 this Friday!

Don’t love the crowds? Join us slackers for the second half of market, once the really ambitious shoppers have been sated.

Take your time, browse the stalls, dance to the music, and talk to your friends. It’s fun, and there will be less traffic on the road when you head home!

Music this week is by Mercury Coast, bringing folk rock 3 part harmonies designed to win your heart and soothe your spirit. See you Friday, 4-7 pm, at 635 Manzanita Ave behind City Hall!

A Standing Ovation for One of Our Own: Bryan Churchill Premieres The Silent Measure July 17–18

If you’ve spent much time in North Tillamook County, chances are you’ve crossed paths with Bryan Churchill.

Maybe you’ve applauded him on stage in a local theater production, purchased a print from him at the Farmers Market, heard him performing with local musicians, attended a Tiny Stacks concert he helped bring to life, or joined a conversation through the North Coast Creative Forum, which he coordinates. You may even have spotted Bryan and his wife, Michelle, enjoying a round of golf at Manzanita Links.

Come out and support Bryan’s latest endeavor.

On July 17 and 18, Bryan premieres his original stage production, The Silent Measure, at the NCRD Performing Arts Center. As an author, musician, actor, director, and photographer, Bryan has spent years investing his talent in our community. The Silent Measure represents one of his most ambitious creative projects to date.

The original production explores what it means to be human in an age of artificial intelligence, weaving together drama, emotion, humor, and thought-provoking questions about connection, memory, and the choices that define us. It’s an evening of theater that promises to entertain while leaving audiences with plenty to discuss long after the curtain falls.

For those who know Bryan, this premiere feels especially meaningful. He has long been one of the quiet champions of the local arts scene creating opportunities for others, encouraging fellow artists, and helping make North County a place where creativity thrives.

Now, one of our favorite neighbors is stepping into the spotlight with a project that has the potential to reach audiences far beyond the Oregon Coast.

You’re invited to be part of something special: an evening of exceptional theater, hometown pride, and a celebration of one of our community’s most dedicated creative voices.

Performances begin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, July 17, and Saturday, July 18, at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.

Join the Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS July 17th from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to explore the diverse plants and animals that call Netarts Bay home with guest scientists Dr. Allie Tissot, Kim Brown, and Katalin Plummer. In addition to their ecological expertise, our program leaders also speak Spanish, so we are excited to offer this exploration as a bilingual program!
If you’ve enjoyed WEBS’ Tidepool Tours, you won’t want to miss this. While we’ll be exploring the mudflats of the bay instead of the tidepools, this program will feature a similar blend of expert-led learning and space to follow your own curiosity. We’re excited to nerd out with you!

NOTE: Please arrive 15 minutes early to find parking and check in!

Registration is required for this free event. Learn more and register at: www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
This popular event fills up quickly! If the event is full, please add your name to the waitlist so we can reach out if spots become available.

What to bring: Be sure to wear shoes that are securely attached to your feet, flip flops will not be allowed. We recommend tall, waterproof boots. The climate can change quickly along the coast, ranging from warm to cool and breezy, so please bring the gear you need to stay comfortable.

Difficulty: Moderate due to the challenges of walking over rocks to reach the bay, and walking on soft, wet sand throughout the program. If bad weather develops, an alternate plan will be communicated to the registered participants.

Parking: There is a small parking lot at our meeting location, as well as pull-offs along Netarts Bay Road for additional parking.

Además de su experiencia ecológica, nuestras líderes de programa también hablan español, ¡así que con mucho gusto le ofrecemos esta exploración como un programa bilingüe!
Si ha disfrutado de los Tidepool Tours de WEBS, no querrá perderse este evento. Aunque esta vez exploraremos las llanuras de marea (mudflats) de la bahía en lugar de las pozas de marea, este programa ofrecerá una combinación similar de aprendizaje guiado por expertas y espacio para seguir su propia curiosidad.¡Será un gusto explorar con ustedes!

NOTA: Por favor llegue 15 minutos antes para encontrar estacionamiento y registrarse.

Se requiere inscripción previa para este evento gratuito. Obtenga más información e inscríbase en: www.netartsbaywebs.org/events

Qué traer: Asegúrese de usar zapatos bien amarrados a los pies; no se permitirán chanclas. Recomendamos botas altas e impermeables. El clima en la costa puede cambiar rápidamente, pasando de cálido a fresco y con viento, así que traiga el equipo necesario para mantenerse cómodo/a.

Dificultad: Moderada, ya que hay que caminar sobre rocas para llegar a la bahía y caminar sobre arena suave y húmeda durante el programa. Si se presenta mal clima, se les comunicará un plan alternativo a las personas inscritas.

Estacionamiento:Hay un estacionamiento pequeño en el punto de encuentro, así como lugares para estacionarse a lo largo de Netarts Bay Road para espacio adicional.
