The
Art Association is the largest resident in the new Center
for the Arts, occupying roughly one third of the 42,000 square
foot facility.
The Center is an architectural marvel, designed by Harry
Teague
Architects, who also designed Colorado’s Anderson
Ranch. It’s spaces are filled with light and incredible
views of the surrounding mountains. We are located at the
heart of
Jackson,
a few blocks south of the Town Square and north of Snow
King Mountain, which rises steeply from the backyard of
the center,
providing
a view from an art center unlike any in the world. Our
spaces include:
Artspace Our
1700 square foot gallery is divided into a main
gallery with cathedral ceilings and an intimate loft gallery
with access to the terrace.

Borshell Drawing Studio One of the Center’s best views
is had from the deck of this incredible 1300 square foot space – the
