Arts & Music Center Gallery at Aquinas College

The Aquinas Art & Music Center Gallery exhibition program is an intrinsic part of our students’ liberal arts education and a venue for public exchange and collaboration. The AMC Gallery hosts four shows throughout the year which are free and open to the public.

In the space, local, national and international artists share their work and art making processes, and faculty share their current investigations, with both the Aquinas Community, and greater West Michigan. We also celebrate the success of our Art Students in our annual Student Show and our Bachelor of Fine Arts Majors in their Senior Exhibition, each showcasing a focused body of work.
