Harrison Center for the Arts

Place for Art

Description

The Harrison Center for the Arts provides studio space for roughly two dozen local artists, and contains a gallery and outdoor courtyard, among other spaces. It was founded to promote, support, and foster appreciation for arts in the community. The gallery here features great rotating shows by mostly local artists that change every month, so there's always something fresh to look at. They also put on artist receptions and other community and private events in their expansive facility. After browsing the gallery and studios, be sure to head down to the lower level, called "The Underground", which provides space for concerts featuring local musicians, theater, and music classes. The Harrison Center is also home to offices for a handful of non-profit organizations, including VSA Arts and The Nature Conservancy.
