We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the arts, culture, and education based in Manzanita Oregon. Listed below are the projects we sponsor for writers and artists with connections to the north Oregon Coast.
The Hoffman Center Gallery provides artists an opportunity to exhibit their art and engage our community in learning about and enjoying art. We seek well crafted artwork in a diversity of media and intriguing subject matter. The submission period for the 2026 Gallery is August 15-September 30, 2025.
Community Writes is an online publication of the Hoffman Center for the Arts. Writers with a connection to north Oregon coast communities are invited to share writing that focuses on a specific prompt. The next submission period: TBA.

Word & Image pairs 12 writers and 12 artists for a collaborative project that results in an exhibition and a book of linked artwork and writing. Submissions for the next project will be accepted Spring 2026.
Up to three pieces of art may be submitted.
Submissions of work previously displayed at the Hoffman Center will not be accepted.
Images should be in jpg format. To ensure high-resolution publishable images, the file size should be at least 1MB (and 3MB if you want the piece to be considered for the cover).
Due to printing costs, some color pieces may be converted to black & white images.
Images with a "vertical" orientation may be considered for the cover of the magazine. There is a box in the submission form to indicate if you would like one of your pieces to be considered for the cover.
Please make sure your biographical statement is under 50 words and clearly indicates your connection to the North Oregon Coast: either as a full-time, part-time, or former resident of Tillamook or Clatsop County; or as a frequent visitor.
