The Visual Arts Center

The Visual Arts Center offers a metropolitan art museum experience in downtown Sioux Falls. Eight spacious galleries exhibit works from local creators and international art legends. The Visual Arts Center, accredited by the American Association of Museums, is dedicated to building, preserving and conserving its collections for both South Dakotans and worldwide audiences. New exhibitions are installed frequently, and community lectures and artist receptions are held throughout the year.
