Currents Gallery is one of the many women-owned businesses in downtown McMinnville. Nineteen years ago, when they started this little enterprise, they had no idea if they could make a success of it.

Currents Gallery is now considered one of Oregon’s premier art galleries.
Troon Vineyard stands out as Oregon’s only Demeter Biodynamic and Regenerative Organic Certified® winery and farm.
