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.
