Art Center membership can get you free admission to hundreds of museums, nationwide! The Art Center has served as one of the Grand Valley's most valuable cultural resources for over 50 years. We have grown and thrived over the years because people like you.
Join in the fun and serve as a volunteer at The Art Center! There are a variety of activities and programs, hours of service and days of the week that are the perfect combination for you and The Art Center. Help us out.
The Art Center is considered a home and social hub for Western Slope artists and the art-curious. The four galleries host work by national artists and also feature the range and talent of our own Western Colorado community.
