Red River Art

By Linda Tancs

Formerly known as the Red River Art Center, the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, North Dakota, is the largest and only accredited art museum in the state. Housed in a renovated, turn-of-the-century warehouse downtown, it features special exhibitions of 20th- and 21st-century art as well as a permanent collection containing approximately 4,000 works of national, international, regional fine art and ethnographic objects. In addition to its collections, the facility offers art classes as well as studio and exhibition space for learning, discussion and display of creative work.
