Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts is a reknown art certer in the city. It was built in the 1840s and has been a number of things, including a tavern, an inn, a dairy farm, and a partial post office. Now, it's an art gallery with different rooms, featuring Minnesota artists. The showvs switch every six weeks or so, and the artists use different kinds of mediums to evoke a variety of themes.

They have weekly art classes for adults and children. They also have a few gallery spaces available for rent. All the exhibitions are free, and they have written word events, too.
