Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The non-profit Workhouse Arts Center was repurposed from a correctional facility to a cultural arts center in 2004. Since then, it has become home to over 90 artists who display their work in studios and public galleries and host classes, workshops, and special events that can be scheduled through the center’s website. Artwork can be purchased in the gift shop or in the artists’ studios. Admission to the center is free and includes a visit to the Workhouse Prison Museum, which tells the story of the facility’s historic past. The center and the museum are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
