Oak-to-Art Transformation in downtown CJ

Help us bring more public art to downtown Cave Junction! The Main Street CJ group want to turn the big oak stump behind the IVSC Thrift Store into a unique wood sculpture.

Earlier this year, the old tree had to be cut down for liability reasons. Since it couldn't be saved, maybe it can be transformed! The oak is in a very visible place – anyone coming to the Post Office or the Thrift Store will see it. We want to have a nature theme that celebrates the wildlife of the Illinois Valley, such as river otters, salmon, deer, or bears. We have a few local artists ready and willing to tackle this project.

Main Street Cave Junction is under the financial umbrella of Illinois Valley Community Development Organization (IVCDO), a registered 501(c)3 non-profit. Donations will be used only for this project, first to fund the artist's commission, and then for long-term maintenance.
