Art Center Information

The Independence Historical Museum and Art Center is constantly adding new and exciting activities for the area of Southeast Kansas. Less than a year ago, “Art Center” was added to the title of the museum, much in keeping with the historic past when the museum was known as the Ladies Library and Art Association. Spurred by a watercolor workshop presented by Monte Toon in June of 2011, a group now meets regularly at the museum for painting days and now is ready to present and help the museum secure other workshops and exhibits for the public. A recent change in venue for the museum’s web page will facilitate added possibilities for the museum, including links to the museum’s web page for artists. Watch for additional coverage of the Art Center’s activities in the media.
