Dramatic, Intimate, Oceanside Event Spaces

Located next to the ocean and in the heart of Newport’s Nye Beach arts district, the Newport Visual Arts Center (known affectionately as the VAC) offers one of the most dynamic event spaces along the Oregon coast. Feel the drama of breaking surf, or a glorious sunset, just outside the full-length windows. Sense the intimacy of being in a space all your own nestled above the beachcombers below. Enjoy the creativity in art galleries throughout the building.

The VAC offers all of this and more. And even better, as a Newport city-owned building, the VAC’s rental rates are kept affordable for broad community use. Meetings, luncheons, weddings, bridal or baby showers, receptions, workshops, lectures and more come to life in our conference rooms, surrounded by views of the Oregon coast.

The Newport Visual Arts Center is home to cultural, educational and community-based programs, events and more – make it your creative space for a compelling ocean-side experience. Ask about renting gallery spaces for a truly special social event.
