The museum features exhibitions of regional and national art and changing exhibitions drawn from its permanent collections. The collections include photos of area Native Americans, immigrant settlers and city builders prior to the 1950s, and a contemporary collection of regional art from the mid-1900s through the present. Art classes and outreach programs are offered for children and adults.
