The Art Center changes its art displays on a rotating basis and features local artists, and up and coming artists. But their 3rd floor is open for private event rentals, and I've attended several events in that space, most recently a wedding reception!

This is a park to visit to relax, fish, or walk. There is wide cement steps right down to the water. You can bring a chair and sit. The little Kanawaha river dumps into the Ohio river, so the water view is wide and relaxing. You can see the river boat go by as it goes to Blennerhassett Island. My go to place when in town.
