COURTESY OF JEFFREY HULL GALLERY Celebrating the Arts in Cannon Beach ARTS AND CULTURE For decades artists from near and far have found their way to Cannon Beach, inspired by the iconic Haystack Rock and rugged seascape. Known as one of the top 100 art towns in the country, you can easily walk between all the independently owned galleries and art studios. Even better, you can often meet the artist at work. Here’s a mix of the town’s newest studios along with legacy galleries. One of the most serene spaces in town is the Jeffrey Hull Gallery, where you can meander multiple rooms that showcase work from the renowned artist. Over 50 years ago, Hull moved to Cannon Beach to surf, and the ocean’s edge became his forever home. He still walks the beach every morning, finding inspiration for his large coastal watercolors. When you gaze at one of his poetically titled pieces, with names like “Song of the Sea,” you can almost hear the ocean. His gallery offers watercolors, oils and a selection of giclée prints. Another hallmark is Icefire Glassworks, one of the oldest galleries in town. Jeffrey Hull Gallery cannonbeach.org 9
