Casteel Art Gallery

Step into the vibrant world of art by visiting the Casteel Art Gallery, located in the Davidson Fine Arts Center in Ivy-Scaggs Hall. With its expansive space and movable walls, the gallery showcases local and renowned artists' works, from abstract to realistic. Five exhibitions are spotlighted from late August through early May, with works of visiting and local professional artists, students, alumni, and faculty and unique items from the permanent collection featured.

The Casteel Art Gallery's mission is to educate its audience about the world of art and serve as a platform to promote opportunities for students and the community. Each spring, the Casteel Art Gallery conducts the Annual Fine Arts Student Competition, providing Fine Arts and Graphics Art students with first-hand experience in the professional world by displaying academic art – produced within two years – at MCC.
