Visiting the Gallery

The gallery is open to the public from 8AM to 8PM on school days, and is open for viewing during most public events in the theater.  Please see the calendar below to see the hours of the Gallery on each specific day.  Please note any scheduled events that may also be taking place in the gallery.

The gallery garden entrance is located between the River Arts Center and Sauk Prairie High School.   The garden entrance is shown in blue in the image to the right.

Parking: 

Visitors to the gallery may park in the teacher staff parking lot, which runs parallel to 9th Street (you may ignore the 'Permit Required" signs).  Two "River Arts Center Visitor" parking stalls are located near the River Arts Center.   You may also park along 9th Street, or in the parking lot on the south end of the building.  Parking in the south parking lot is not allowed from 3pm-3:45pm on school days, as the school busses use the lot.

Please see the calendar below to verify gallery hours and see any other events scheduled in the gallery.  The gallery is still open for viewing during events, but we ask that patrons be respectful of meetings or events being held in the gallery.

On rare occasions when large school events use the theater, we may lock the gallery's garden entrance.  In these occasions, please enter the main entrance of Sauk Prairie High School and request a visitor's pass.

If you have questions on gallery hours, availability, or the facility, please call or email the River Arts Center administrative office.  Phone: 608-643-5636 Email: director@riverartscenter.org
