Contemporary Art Center of Peoria, Peoria, Illinois, United States of America

There’s nothing like the Contemporary Art Center of Peoria, catering to artistic souls and acknowledging the vibrancy of different realms of art. From exhibits to providing studios for the artists to poetry open mic to yoga classes to salsa dances, there is certainly nothing else that you need to quench your artsy psyche. Situated in Peoria, Illinois, the Art Center celebrates all the arts, and it’s truly what every artist deserves.

Washington is one of the nearby towns to Peoria, with only a less than 20-minute ride to the Contemporary Art Center. Here, you can find the Sleep Inn & Suites, good enough for a week long vacation or even a few days after exploring the city or paying a visit to the Art Center. But if you’re up for a grand vacation (which you deserve after months of working tirelessly), Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette is the perfect place for you. The hotel takes a lot of pride in its amenities, up and down to the littlest details you would’ve never thought you needed. You should drop by at The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception and be in awe of its interior and exterior through worm’s eye view. Wildlife Prairie Park, dubbed as the “jewel in the North American Midwest”, is also worth a visit. It’s the home of around 150 native animals and tourists get to learn about elks, wolves, otters, snakes, badgers, waterfowls, and many more. You can also go aboard the riverboat named the Spirit of Peoria, a paddle boat that actually uses a huge paddle wheel to move forward.
