Live Performances and Art Exhibits

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.
