Casteel Art Gallery opens season with Vino and Van Gogh exhibit
Local artists will bring color, creativity, and a spirit of self-expression to Meridian
Community College as the Casteel Art Gallery opens its first exhibit of the 2026-27
academic year.
Featuring works by members of the Vino and Van Gogh artist group, the exhibit will be on display Sept. 2-30 in the gallery that is located in Ivy-Scaggs Hall on the MCC campus.
An opening reception is set for Wednesday, Sept. 2, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the gallery. The campus and community are invited.
Vino and Van Gogh grew from a desire to become “rich with art and self-expression.” The idea began when a few friends decided the Meridian area could benefit from more opportunities to experience and create art while also helping uncover the artistic talent already present in the community.
The group meets at the Meridian Museum of Art, bringing together artists who share an interest in creativity, artistic exploration, and fellowship.
The Casteel Art Gallery exhibit will give MCC students, employees, and community members an opportunity to experience the work of local artists while ushering in a new season of exhibitions on campus, said Terrell Taylor, MCC art instructor, who also serves as curator of the gallery.
Operating hours for the Casteel Gallery are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
