The PGCC Galleries are the College’s hub for visual dialogue, creativity, and cultural scholarship. Through exhibitions, public programs, and student engagement opportunities, our galleries serve as teaching laboratories and community anchors—spaces where ideas take shape and artistic voices are amplified.
The College currently operates two spaces:
- The Gallery at Center for Performing Arts – Our longstanding exhibition space featuring student, faculty, and visiting artists' work.
- The Gallery at Marlboro Hall – Opening soon. Our new professional gallery is dedicated to modern and contemporary art, curatorial innovation, and exhibitions inspired by the College’s permanent collection.
