The Arts Center is operated by the Jamestown Fine Arts Association (JFAA), which has been promoting the arts in the Jamestown, North Dakota area for over 46 years.
Located downtown, it serves over 350 members. The Center was renovated in 1981 and features a 2000 square foot exhibition gallery, a 400 square foot stage, and classroom space. The stage is utilized year round for theatrical, musical and dance performances.
In 2009 the Hansen Arts Studio opened. One half is dedicated to a ceramics studio and the other half hosts adult classes (in printmaking and stained glass) and seminars.
The Arts Center is a spot for local artists to share their talents as well as a performance and exhibition location for artists from around the world to show their talents to the Jamestown community.
Jamestown Fine Arts Association also operates the Ila & J.A. Kirkpatrick Gallery at the Frontier Village in Jamestown. The gallery is open each summer and is operated by the Artisans, a volunteer artist group.
Jamestown Fine Arts Association receives some funding from the North Dakota Council on the Arts and other grant sources. However, cash donations, volunteer support, product donations, and membership are essential to the success of all activities. |
