Bend is a vibrant city located in central Oregon, nestled along the Deschutes River at the eastern edge of the Cascade Range. Originally a logging town, it has evolved into a dynamic cultural hub that seamlessly blends outdoor recreation with arts and culture.

The city's historic downtown district features art galleries, local craft shops, and cultural venues, reflecting its transformation from a mill town to a cultural destination. The High Desert Museum, located just south of the city, plays a significant role in preserving and showcasing the natural and cultural heritage of the region.

Bend's artistic community is active throughout the year, with regular art walks, music festivals, and cultural events that celebrate both traditional and contemporary expressions. The city's commitment to public art is evident in its numerous sculptures and installations throughout public spaces, while its historic buildings provide glimpses into its past as a frontier settlement.
