Current & Coming Soon
Emphasizing inclusion, community, and partnership, our five galleries offer about 20 diverse FREE exhibitions annually. Shows feature world-renowned artists but keep a local focus, with most artworks available for purchase. Guest curators bring fresh perspective while receptions and field trips let you engage with artists. Each informal gallery opening includes a cash bar and is followed by a Fitton Center performance event.
