The Eden Prairie Art Center is now open!
After years of envisioning the possibilities of a center for the arts in Eden Prairie, the dream has finally come true.
At its meeting on April 15, 2008, the Eden Prairie City Council officially accepted the gift of a 5,400-square-foot building from the family of Roger Sampson, a former Eden Prairie resident who built the building as a place to create art before he passed away.
The Sampson family announced their intention to donate the building to the City, to be used as an art center for the community, late in 2007. With the approval of the Council, it has become the largest single gift ever offered to the City of Eden Prairie.
City staff members, with the help of the Arts and Culture Commission, are developing new community arts programs at the Art Center, located at 7650 Equitable Drive.
