THE MERCER GALLERY


GALLERY INFO

The Mercer Gallery at Garden City Community College is committed to offering a rich and diverse cultural experience to the campus community and the greater region. The Mercer Gallery offers people a transformative opportunity to experience life as depicted by regional, national, and international artists. It is our goal to provide exhibitions that are inclusive of a variety of media and concepts. In addition, we offer exhibitions that will enhance lifelong experiences. We also create educational opportunities for our students and provide an exhibition venue for area student artwork.

It is located in the west wing of the Joyce Fine Arts building at 801 Campus Drive in Garden City, Kansas. The Mercer Gallery is open Monday through Wednesday from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Thursdays 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM, and Fridays from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM. during the regular academic year (closed summer term and other breaks). Admission is free. For more information, call Michael K. Knutson, Gallery Director, at (620) 276-9644 or e-mail michael.knutson@gcccks.edu.

Don't expect a cold, sterile environment when you enter Mercer Gallery. The space is warm and welcoming to celebrate artists and visitors interested in their work. As you pass through the oak doors, you enter a tranquil area of fabric-covered displays, carefully controlled lighting, and tastefully arranged, multidisciplinary exhibits.
