About
Artisans of Corvallis (AoC) is a database of local artists, crafts people, and creators of handmade items in the Corvallis, Oregon, community. AoC shares their creations to encourage Buying Local in order to support our community of artisans and their work.
While we recognize there is a huge abundance of creativity in the areas and towns surrounding Corvallis, we are currently looking to only feature artists who reside in, work in, source a large amount of their materials from, or have their work displayed or sold at a physical location within, Corvallis. We think that just focusing on this will have our work cut out for us given the number of artisans here already. If you are interested in being included in this database, please visit and complete the following form: tiny.cc/AoCform.
