About Us
The River Gallery
The gallery was a vibrant centerpiece holding some of the most astounding artistry on the Oregon coast.
Founded by Florence residents, Jan and Brian Jagoe, the gallery had been a lifelong dream of Jan’s that became reality when they moved from Southern California in 2003. Known for its picturesque beauty and thriving artist community, Florence became the perfect place for Jan and Brian to open their dream space.
Since the opening of The River Gallery, it was a constant creative presence in the community. Local artists, using an array of diverse mediums, joined us on our lovely little corner of Bay Street to share in our enjoyment of art. The wide-ranging gallery invited locals, artists, and tourists alike all throughout the years to celebrate the beauty of creativity and enjoy being in the lively center of Old Town Florence.
Gallery Owner and Manager: Janelle Brady
Janelle began managing the gallery after moving to Florence in 2014. She is the daughter of gallery founder Jan Jagoe and is passionate about offering quality customer service and getting to know those who frequent our little corner of Bay Street.
She and her husband, Sean, live on the beach as they have always dreamed and are part of making Florence the lively and lovely community it is.
“The River Gallery invites people from across the world to come together and celebrate the beauty of art.”
