There’s no shortage of artistic talent here in our area.

If you’re interested in experiencing, creating, and appreciating art in its physical form, The Mansfield Art Center is a wonderful place to explore galleries and exhibits. Additionally, if you’d rather immerse yourself fully in the arts, there are plenty of options for hands-on experiences like artist workshops and open mic poetry nights.

It’s even the home of the famed summer 3-day tattoo and music festival, Inkcarceration.
