West Acres Regional Showcase reflects a carefully chosen selection of local and regional artwork and limited-time displays that enhance the West Acres experience for shoppers and visitors. Each of the Mall’s five Courts reflects a permanent, themed component of Regional Showcase. We also launched our Artist in Residence Program in 2017, which features new artists every few months in an interactive pop-up studio of a local artist.

Artist in Residence: Ian Scheele
West Acres is thrilled to welcome Ian Scheele as our next artist-in-residence! Throughout his time at West Acres, you’ll have the chance to witness live demonstrations and much more! Engage with Ian one-on-one, uncovering the stories and inspirations behind his creations. We are so excited to have him at West Acres!
As a mixed-media sculptor, his work focuses on the intersections of art, science, and design using a wide range of techniques and materials. Drawing inspiration from his background in neuroscience and chemistry, as well as his studio practice, he approaches each piece with an experimental mindset. The outcome is often unknown until the work is complete, revealing an element of surprise and discovery that is central to his creative process.

The Fountain of Abundance, created by Richard Szeitz, is an iconic piece of art that plays backdrop to thousands of photos and memories created at West Acres. Each season, we emphasize its beauty with temporary art installations, created by local businesses and artists.
The Fountain is also one of the many ways you can give back to the community through West Acres. All the change collected funds charities and families in need within our community at any given time. Make a wish and make a difference!
