HCC Art Galleries

WHO WE ARE

The HCC Art Galleries encompasses three visual arts galleries and is dedicated to adding educational and cultural value to the community by exhibiting regional, national, and international artists in all media. The galleries consist of Gallery221@HCC and Gallery3@HCC on Dale Mabry Campus and Gallery114@HCC Ybor City Campus. The galleries also advocate for their local communities, especially HCC students, to have ready access to diverse and meaningful experiences with the arts without traveling outside of the region. Through public lectures, programming, a public art program, and a growing permanent art collection, the HCC Art Galleries maintain a strong educational focus and function as dynamic learning environments. In response to an increasing need and request for public art, the HCC Art Galleries also strive to foster a sense of community, query, and critical thought through the placement of art in public spaces, taking into consideration the creative potential of the visual arts in placemaking and the unique role of arts in education. Its purpose is to support the college's educational and cultural vision by providing a continuous forum dedicated to enhancing the visual arts' appreciation, enjoyment, and understanding by presenting diverse, high-quality exhibits. We encourage exchanging ideas and intend to provoke and expand the creative impulse.
