About Our Galleries
The Arts Center is home to two galleries that show everything from local student art to well-known regional artists to traveling exhibitions curated by professionals in their field. The Willson Exhibit Room is a wide space perfect for larger works and sculpture, while the Hall Gallery is more intimate and perfect for smaller works that invite you to get up close.
We also organize annual competitions for artists of all ages and experience. We are proud to feature work in these exhibits from residents of the area, and include separate divisions with cash prizes.
