PCC’s Visual Arts & Media Studies Division is one of the preeminent arts education providers in Southern California. The mission of the Galleries at PCC is to present high caliber exhibitions of local contemporary visual artists and to provide an opportunity for students to view and discuss challenging works, interact with artists and arts professionals, and have their art exhibited to professional standards.

Funding will support the PAA Student Scholarships at PCC; the Spring 2018 Artist-in-Residence, Kori Newkirk, including a show of his mixed-media artworks in the Boone Family Art Gallery; the Spring Video Installation Show in Gallery V, featuring the video installations and sculptures of Joshua Haycraft; and the Guest Lecturer Series. The programs run throughout the 2018-2019 academic year.
