The Art Outreach Gallery is an art appreciation initiative and community development project. Living in a "knowledge based economy" it is more important than ever to bring creativity out of everyone, and especially our children. Exposure to the arts in a public venue such as the mall provides an opportunity to experience a wide range of creative local talents and creates interest in the arts for the young.
The gallery is located across from American Eagle Outfitters, along the concourse between Macy's and JC Penney's. Gallery hours are Friday 5-9 p.m., Saturday 1-9 p.m., and Sunday 1-5 p.m. The Performing Art Center is located across from Spencer Gifts, along the concourse between Macy's and Dillard's. The receptions and performances are free and open to the public.
