McColl Center for Visual Art is the leading center for the advancement of creative capacity for artists and the public. Advancing artists, community and the creation of contemporary art through residencies, exhibitions, outreach and education. McColl Center for Visual Art believes that art and artists are catalysts for cultural advancement.

Join us on Friday, March 19 for the closing reception of "Joyce Scott: Recall" as well as the "2010 Winter Artists-in-Residence Exhibition" on the 2nd and 3rd floor galleries. Yes, we said closing reception, not only does the Center celebrate the first chance to see our exhibitions with an Opening Reception, but we also commemorate the last chance to see the exhibition with a Closing Reception.

On a quick walk through the galleries, I went in search of some artists to find out what they would be working on this Saturday, March 6th when their doors will be open to the public for Open Studio Saturday. I quickly found three willing artists to give me a brief glimpse into what their future holds tomorrow...

Yesterday there was a knock on the office door and I was the lucky one to answer, it was Darren Goins, 11-Month affiliate artist looking for “an extra set of hands.” Darren and I walked down to his studio and as I turned the corner, I was thrilled to see two plexi glass canvas circles hanging on the wall, backlit with neon.
