The Art Preserve is a satellite campus of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It is an experimental space designed to house the Arts Center’s collection of more than thirty-five artist-built environments.

The Art Preserve building comprises approximately 56,000 sq. ft. of floor space over three stories, including more than 37,000 sq. ft. of dedicated gallery space with visible storage, an education area, a library, a study collection, and archive room. It is set on 38 acres, adjacent to protected property owned by Glacial Lakes Conservancy.

More than a building, it is a platform for ongoing explorations and investigations into these environments, their makers, and the Arts Center’s role as their institutional steward. It embodies the Arts Center’s conviction that significant, original, and compelling works of art are created everywhere, by people from a broad spectrum of life experiences.
