The Pride of Manzanita
The Hoffman Center is an art, culture, and education institution serving north Tillamook County, operating out of two buildings on the main street of Manzanita.
The main building, the former home of benefactors Lloyd and Myrtle Hoffman, hosts weekly life drawing sessions and periodic painting or drawing classes. It also provides working studio space for local artists.
The Annex, a former gift store across the street, hosts a clay studio, author readings, artist workshops, a letterpress-printing studio, dances, Chautauqua lectures, musical programs for adults, seniors, and children. The Annex is being readied for a major refurbishment, guided by architect Mark Nye. This project is expected to cost between $250,000 and $300,000. v
Following completion of the Annex project, the Hoffman Center board and supporters envisions turning their attention to replacing the main building. Designed by architect Bud Oringdulph, the new, two-story building which will include a performance area, studios, office and gallery spaces. This project is expected to cost between $3.5 and $4.0 million. When both projects are completed, the Hoffman Center will serve as a hub of cultural activity and a source of pride for residents and visitors alike.
