If you’re into the arts, you can find plenty to experience on the PC campus. Throughout the year, opportunities abound to see up and coming and professional artists.

You can view art from local, state, and national artists on exhibit in the Bailey Art Gallery. Named in honor of philanthropist Mary Bailey Vance Suitt, the gallery is located in the Bailey Rotunda of Neville Hall and features art for the community to enjoy. A reception welcoming the artist and introducing the artwork takes place at the beginning of each exhibit.

The Elizabeth Stone Harper Gallery hosts four exhibitions each year. Two exhibitions of work feature nationally and internationally recognized artists. The Senior Art Major Exhibit features the work of PC students who majored in art. The Annual Student Exhibit features the work of PC students who submitted artwork to the gallery. The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays.  Admission to the gallery is free.
