Prairie Winds Art Center

The beautifully preserved exterior and interior moldings on this historic downtown building are reason enough to stop in and look around. The art pieces shine too with a nice mix of paintings, photography, pottery, jewelry and wood pieces. There is variety among the painted subject matter from traditional mother and child portraits to two horses painted going on a bicycle joy ride. More than 30 artists show their work at this co-op gallery and framing shop. You can shop here and spend as little as $15 on a wood wine bottle stopper. Be sure to check the online calendar for a list of monthly shows and special receptions. If you're in the mood for more shopping, several of the city's downtown antique shops are located along this same street.
