    5th Street Public Market History Art Show

    2026

    This exhibition explores the history, evolution, and spirit of Eugene’s 5th Street Public Market through photography, watercolor, printmaking, and architectural renderings by diverse artists. Blending archival imagery with personal interpretation, the collection traces the Market’s transformation from a historic industrial district into one of Eugene’s most beloved cultural destinations.

    Through scenes of storefronts, streetscapes, seasonal light, and everyday moments, the works reflect the deep connection between place and community while celebrating the Market’s enduring role in Eugene’s identity.

    Originally established in 1976 by developer Norm Fogelstrom, the 5th Street Public Market revitalized a once-declining downtown area into a vibrant hub for local artisans, food vendors, and small businesses. Today, the Market welcomes more than 2 million visitors annually and remains a cornerstone of Eugene’s shopping, dining, and arts community.

    The exhibition is on view in the Maple Room at Inn at the 5th. Viewing is subject to room availability.
