Jansen Art Center

"Wonderful place to view art AND create art! So many programs and I would encourage anyone to stop in and see how they could get involved. Valuable community hub for the arts."

"So happy to have found this amazing artist community! I’m currently taking their Jewelry class for metal smithing and it’s fantastic! The studio is really well organized and has a beautiful view from all the windows! I will definitely be taking more classes in the future for jewelry and ceramics!"

"This was a great art exhibit! I was honored to have one of my drawings chosen for display. With the option of "not selling" made me feel at ease. It's hard putting yourself out there, but the staff was very welcoming and inviting. They encouraged exploration and cherished each art piece. The variety and aesthetics of the different art displayed was definitely very unique and vibrant. In the future I'll be looking into putting up more artwork to eventually sell. Music, drinks, and a scavenger hunt what more could you ask for! Just vibing to the music, people watching people viewing art was a cool experience. I was honestly surprised that there is such an artsy, eclectic crowd around. Reminded me of the Art venues in L.A. Definitely an amazing experience!"

"Art community, Did you know there was something this fantastic in Lynden? If you have not yet visited the newly remodeled city hall/fire station building in the heart of Lynden, you need to. It is now a top notch art center with an eclectic mix of many types of art you not only go to see but create. The 20k sq ft building is available for rent for private parties and includes a fantastic cafe open daily to the public, but the center piece of it all is the art. You can see and participate in painting classes, pottery, jewelry making, dance, jazz music, private music lessons and even tapestry to name a few. Come listen on Thursday nights to no cover live music while having a light meal from the cafe. The people of the community that operate the Jansen Art Center are fantastic, love to share their passion and encourage you to participate. A must visit if you love art."

"Thoroughly enjoyed viewing the current exhibit. So many talented local artists!"
