There are 162 works of art from over 80 local and regional artists throughout the hotel. A collection of paintings created by the namesake of the hotel, Gordon Obie, is also on display. There are even 75 pieces of art in the hotel that were created by Obie Companies staff. The lobby features The Art Bar stocked with supplies such as paint, pencils and clay where guests are encouraged to create their own art. The lobby also features a digital art installation called the Great Wall, which was brought about in collaboration with the Eugene-based Harmonic Laboratory, an award-winning local art collective. There are plans to publish an art catalog of all the pieces on display.
