Island Park Art Gallery

Celebrating Art and Community

Island Park Art Gallery at Willamalane adult Activity Center is a vibrant space dedicated to showcasing the works of local artists and providing a platform for the community to come together and admire the beauty of art. The Island Park Art Gallery rotates its exhibitions monthly, featuring new artists and works each time, so there’s always something new and exciting to see.

Exhibits are available for viewing during regular operating hours at Willamalane Adult Activity Center and during artist reception events. 

Artist Reception Events 

Experience the diverse talent of our community at reception events as part of Springfield’s Second Friday Art Walk. Each artist’s reception features complimentary refreshments, live music, and a shuttle service to and from the Emerald Art Center

These events occur on the second Friday of each month from 5-7 p.m. There are no artist reception events in January, October, or November. 

Not only will you have the chance to admire and purchase unique works of art, but by doing so, you will also be supporting community services at the Willamalane Adult Activity Center. The Island Park Art Gallery is more than just a place to view art; it’s where art and community come together.
