Jaques Art Center
Open Tuesday - Saturday

Always FREE admission
Our non-profit relies heavily on donations to continue our mission of preserving Aitkin's artistic roots and creating an art space with rotating exhibits and classes that welcomes everyone in the community. We are extremely thankful for all the support we have received so far. With your donation, we can continue to make a difference in our local community and beyond. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us to reach our goals and make our vision a reality.
Each year the Jaques Art Center is proud to present the Christmas Marketplace. For those who have never been, it is a holiday themed bazaar that literally has something for everyone on your holiday shopping list!
This year for the first time ever we have also replaced all of the art in the Jaques Gallery with rarely seen or limited edition Francis Lee Jaques prints. With a total of 14 large prints and a variety of smaller ones, this is a unique opportunity to get a glimpse at some of the treasures we have for sale that are usually kept in the vault. All proceeds from the sale of these prints goes to funding the ongoing operations of the Jaques Art Center.

Part of the Jaques Art Center's ongoing community outreach is providing free or low-cost classes that welcome everyone from art-curious beginners to experts who want to create their art with other art enthusiasts.
The talented Tracy Miller taught this class which focused on the art of layering colors to create fun pigs!
This class was open to all ages. Tracy will be back to do a workshop for us in 2024!

If you are looking for the perfect gift or even a treat for yourself the Jaques Art Center Gift Shop always has something new and unique. From fine art to crafts, jewelry, and even greeting cards, we have something for everyone. All items on display in the gift shop are created or designed by local artists. A portion of the proceeds goes to support the Jaques Art Center.
Volunteers Needed
We are looking for volunteers to help keep the Jaques Art Center a pillar of the community. As a non-profit we are seeking artists, crafters, and teachers who are willing to donate their time to teach classes. We also appreciate the donation of art supplies that we can use in our classes and community outreach programs. We also take original art donations that may be displayed in the gallary or auctioned off during our annual fundraising events. As a non-profit we are always looking for fundraisers, corporate sponsors, and donors who are passionate about our cause and can help us achieve our financial goals. If you are interested in volunteering, becoming a board member, or donating, please contact us.
