Have been here twice and each time marveled at the wonderful art exhibitions (quilts/fiber art and paintings). It's a beautiful building that's fun to explore, and is remarkably fitting for an art museum. It would be a terrific location for a special event as well. The gift shop has a fantastic selection of jewelry, art, scarves, etc. by local artists, which benefits the center. The only downside is accessibility, which can be tricky upstairs.

The Anderson Arts Center is showcasing original handmade art work of a variety of local, regional and national artists (art work, photography, pottery, cards, jewelry, furniture, scarves and many other unique one of a kind gifts). When visiting Kenosha, stop by to see the changing inventory and creative displays in the Art center. Some items you can buy if you see the sign with $ amount by the item.
The 9,000 square foot mansion that houses the Arts Center began life as a private residence. The majestic ceilings and large, open expanses of wall space, which were distinctive features of the mansion, now lend themselves perfectly to the display of art work. The center usually offers six to seven major art exhibitions a year. The entire West Wing of the Anderson Arts Center has been devoted to the display of art work done by students attending area schools. Every August, children can attend Summer Art Camps sponsored by the Arts Center. A full slate of art classes and activities are held in Kid's Space, located in a renovated area of the Anderson Art Center Annex. The Gallery is FREE and open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 1:00-4:00 p.m.

A large mansion located on Lake Michigan, the Anderson Arts Center hosts wonderful art collections which shift from time to time. It has an excellent gift shop and in the summer is the location of terrific concerts. It can be difficult to find for the casual visitor to Kenosha, but it's worth looking for. Go to their website for listings of current activities and shows.

Outdoor concerts held during the summer and you can visit the art center and browse. Would have been neat to live or grow up in a home like this

I agree with the other reviewers who have written about the spacious galleries and quality art work. I'll add that it also houses a delightful gift shop with reasonable prices. The views of Lake Michigan and the scenic shoreline are awe-inspiring, too. The 1861 Durkee Mansion at Kemper Center is only a block away. Call to check on open hours.

Small but cozy. Has 2 floors of Art works and a lot of local talent, which is pretty good. There are several Art Museum's/Gallery's in the immediate area and this is one of the best. They do accept donations if you wish to contribute. Has a gift shop as well.

This was originally a private home; however, I think it is for the best that it now houses artwork, and quilt displays, and anyone can visit and enjoy it. Just walking from room to room, upstairs also, is a pleasant experience.

The Anderson Art Center is one of our favorite places in Kenosha, WI. Great place for viewing art with a Gift Shop. The Anderson Art Center is a lot more than what appears on the surface. Go to their website and see all the different entertainment that is available. There is something going on most of the time.
In their website, click on the Special Events tab. Here you will find two of our favorite events… Twilight Jazz and the Gallery of Trees:
- Twilight Jazz is a free outdoor Jazz concert that happens about 4 times during the summer months. You can purchase food and wine on the grounds, but most people bring their favorite picnic food and wine. Twilight Jazz is a great replacement for Ravinia which is 35/40 miles to the south.
- Gallery of Trees is a great way to start the Christmas season. The Gallery is filled with professionally decorated Christmas trees.

We go to the Twilight Jazz concerts at Anderson Arts Center several times a summer. The outdoor grassy area is fun and relaxed. Art at the center is mainly local artists with differing styles. We've purchased work from there and value it. The building is a classic executive mansion on the lake and well maintained.

Have seen several exhibits there and this former home that houses the Art Center is worth viewing on its own.
