If you’re on the road to Sun Valley, you can turn off at Pendleton heading toward LaGrande, then turning off to Enterprise ultimately winding up in Joseph in the northeast corner of Oregon. Named after Chief Joseph, the famous Nez Pierce leader who lived in this gorgeous land, the area remains sacred to their descendants. If you love sculpture and the beauty of nature, this area is definitely worth the detour and is relatively “undiscovered.”
Multiple artists, two bronze foundries and several galleries are present in this tiny town tucked into the Wallowa Mountains and Eagle Cap Wilderness. A tour a foundry is a must to learn about the ancient lost wax process.
A beautiful example created by our resident artist is beautifully displayed in Skyline’s 5th floor elevator lobby.
