Visual Arts and Culture

The Galleries at CCBC

The art galleries at CCBC, managed and curated by our Institute of Art and Design, are dedicated to showcasing quality visual arts. We're proud to present a dynamic series of exhibitions by local, regional and national artists showcasing a range of media, dealing with diverse themes. The galleries also showcase outstanding artwork created by students in the Art Department.

Community Book Connection

The Community Book Connection (CBC) is a college-wide reading initiative dedicated to promoting a culture of dialogue, discussion and debate at CCBC. Each year we select a book that we recommend to the college community and host related events like keynote lectures, discussions, field trips and more.
