If you’re looking to see some beautiful art, then the Selkirk Community Arts Center is the place to visit. The center was opened in 1991 after volunteers raised money to purchase and renovate it after it was condemned, the building was formerly an old post office before being renovated into the center it is now. The building was almost lost again in 1998 but again volunteers refused to quit and again raised the money needed to keep it open.

As of now, the center is home to the Gwen Fox Gallery and changes monthly to showcase other artists.
