The best arts & culture spots in Keene

“Built in 1762, Wyman Tavern is the kind of local history flex you forget we have in town, a Georgian-era public house turned museum where Dartmouth’s trustees first met in 1770 and 29 Minutemen mustered in 1775. Book a guided tour and get the stories straight from the floorboards.”

“Thorne Sagendorph Art Gallery is a gathering place for artists, students, and neighbors, with fall shows featuring Shaina Gates and Brian Ulrich alongside fresh ceramics, printmaking, and KSC Art & Design faculty work. It’s the kind of spot where you pop in for a quick look and leave thinking about it all week.”

“Hannah Grimes Marketplace brings together work from over 250 local artisans, with an expanded art gallery of original paintings, giclee prints, and sculpture alongside Funky Rock Designs stone pieces, glass, pottery, candles, and New England-made gourmet food. Perfect when you want a gift that actually feels local.”

“If you like your gallery visits to spark conversation as much as admiration, Taryn Fisher Fine Art leans into aspiration and activism with contemporary works across painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media... technically sharp, socially engaged, and very Keene in its community-minded spirit.”
