5 Best Things

In one man's humble opinion, the five best things about the QCC Art Gallery are:

The Exhibits - with a powerful permanent collection of African art, and visiting exhibits like Shangaa, Powerful Arts of Cameroon, New Light, Visionaries, and more...featuring the product of masters like Picasso and Warhol...and every medium of every stripe from so many cultures...I need not go on.

The Building - once the clubhouse of an elite golf club...now renovated and granted landmark status as the home of our beloved QCC Art Gallery

The Grounds - lovely and manicured to greet each season...with a pergola and sculptures too...they provide an appropriate setting for the Gallery itself

The Gift Shop - in the foyer of the Gallery...containing books, jewelry, handicrafts of many cultures...and many wonderful bargains for the discerning shopper

The Director - one of the most interesting characters and talented men on campus without whose acumen and efforts the Gallery would have never reached such heights

Honorable mention: the price...0$...FREE...gratis...libre!...though in good conscience, perhaps some would consider becoming a member to help support the noble mission of the Gallery.
