Make the Pearson Lakes Art Center the site for your next business luncheon or social affair.  With the recent additions of the Pomerantz Hall and the Lauridsen Theatre, the Lakes Art Center can now accommodate a cocktail party for 400 guests or a sit down affair for 200 people.  The soothing vista from the Pomerantz Hall offers a glimpse of nature's best prairie grasses and bird sanctuary while your guests are stimulated by the original artwork that adorn the walls.

Our main gallery salon is the perfect site for an intimate gathering or musical recital or for a larger affair, the new Lauridsen Theatre can accommodate nearly 300 guests.

Whatever your needs, please visit with our staff today to formulate the perfect room for your next social or business engagement.

The Pearson Lakes Art Center Staff is pleased to announce we have recently installed shades in the Pomerantz Hall.  This was a generous donation from Bank Midwest and Jane Hummel Designs.  The Pomerantz Hall is now equipt to allow for viewing of PowerPoint presentations, videos and more during the day.
