About Us
The Story Behind Our Name
At House of Orange, we believe in the power of beginnings. The color orange represents new starts, fresh perspectives, and endless possibilities. It’s a color of warmth and energy, inviting creativity to bloom.
Historically, artists have used orange as a foundational color, an underpainting that served as a perfect mid-tone for landscapes and portraits. But what they discovered went beyond technique: when layers of blues and greens were applied over the orange, the paintings didn’t just take on more depth—they came alive. The result was a vibrant, glowing quality that made the work feel illuminated from within.
At House of Orange, this philosophy of layering—combining new beginnings with established tradition—is at the heart of what we do. Located in the heart of Cannon Beach, our gallery is not just a space to view art, but a place where creativity thrives. Here, we connect artists to the community and the community to the artists, fostering an environment of collaboration, learning, and growth.
Whether you're an artist, a collector, or someone simply seeking inspiration, we invite you to experience the magic of the House of Orange. Come, explore, and be part of a creative journey that celebrates vibrancy, connection, and new beginnings.
When the little gallery space on Sunset Drive opened up, we couldn’t help but see it as a sign—another wink to our favorite color, that glowing shade of sunset orange. So in October 2023, House of Orange quietly opened its doors on Sunset Blvd., and ever since, we’ve been soaking in Cannon Beach sunsets with even bigger smiles.
And yes, we know the Dutch royal family carries the name House of Orange... That wasn’t the reason behind ours, but we love the playful overlap. Founder Ginger has Dutch roots, which makes the coincidence even sweeter.
House of Orange manifesto:
We believe every community needs a heartbeat. Ours beats in color, canvas, and conversation. At House of Orange, creativity is the pulse—strongest when community gathers. Here, Cannon Beach neighbors, artists, and wanderers connect. Studios stay open, ideas spill over, and sunsets remind us why we come together. It’s the boom ~ boom ~ boom ~, the beating heart of artists creating, connecting, & inspiring!
