The Hoffman Center is an Oregon nonprofit 501(c)3 organization which supports and encourages artistic, cultural and educational activities in north Tillamook County by providing facilities, funding, promotion and other assistance.

Currently, the Hoffman Center has two facilities to help artists and patrons of the arts connect with the community, improve their skills, and simply be able to enjoy a variety of performances.

The Hoffman House Studios, in the original home bequeathed by the Hoffmans, are available to local artists for rent. There they can use private and dedicated space to pursue their passion for a nominal monthly fee. In addition, classrooms are available for small group workshops. Our popular and long-standing Life Drawing workshop meets there regularly.

The Hoffman Center building across the street was purchased in 2007 to provide the space for more programs.

  • The clay program allows both children and adults to experiment with a variety of techniques, and have their projects fired on-site.
  • Art and theater workshops serve local children, both after school and in the summer
  • Performances bring in regional talent as well as local musicians and theater groups.
  • The monthly Manzanita Writers’ Series hosts regional well-known authors to the Coast, and encourages local writers with an “Open Mic.

Dedicated volunteers manage all the programs and provide maintenance for the facilities.
