Art on Broadway is a fine art gallery that has

been in Beaverton for three years and features
quality, hand-crafted art.
“It came about out of determination,” Donna

Sanson said. “I think we started out with,
maybe, 10 artists. Now we’re at 20. Bert Cohen

and I are the partners. We manage the gallery.”
Cohen and Sanson are also exhibiting artists
with Art on Broadway. Sanson paints with

watercolor, acrylic and mixed media, while
Cohen is noted for fine jewelry.

“We change out artwork on a regular basis,”
Sanson said. “Everything is handmade. We

have no prints in here, except cards — the
price range goes from $5 for a card all the way
up to several thousand dollars for an original

painting.”
Artists are noted for a variety of specialties.
