Featuring nearly 6,000 square feet of exhibition space, CCS' Center Galleries presents contemporary visual, literary and performance art and design by national, local and international artists. Through more than 20 exhibitions each season, Center Galleries shares the work of local, national and international artists in its four spaces: the Main Gallery, the Alumni and Faculty Hall, the Permanent Collection Gallery and the U245 Student Gallery. Exhibitions are often accompanied by artist lectures, symposia, gallery talks, film and literary and performance events. Founded in 1989, Center Galleries focuses on the relationship between culture and artistic practice, fostering intellectual inquiry and creating multidisciplinary exhibitions and educational programming enabling diverse audiences to connect art experiences to everyday life.
