Outdoor Sculpture Trail Outdoor Sculpture Trail

Art can be found outside the center, too!

Sixteen sculptures are located on the art center grounds and also on the bike trail leading to the Dickinson County Nature Center. Stop by to see the bronze sculptures by Gary Price (located near the gazebo) along with the many colorful pieces that surround the building, including the very bright (and large!) Edward Hopper, just behind the PLAC. A Sculpture Trail brochure is available at our front desk and also in the brochure boxes located along the trail.
ArtSmart Interactive Gallery ArtSmart Interactive Gallery

The Pearson Lakes Art Center's interactive educational gallery entitled "ArtSmart" is a hands-on educational environment designed to let visitors explore recurring themes and basic elements in the artist's creative process.

ArtSmart presents the artist/visitor with a series of exhibit-based opportunities to become the 'artist.'  It is intended to expand the visitor's vision by learning to recognize creativity whenever he or she sees it.  The gallery is designed for people of all ages, with an emphasis on families and younger school-age visitors.  We hope your visit to ArtSmart will bring you greater understanding, insight and appreciation of the Pearson Lakes Art Center's permanent, on-loan and special exhibitions.
