GDAC has an extensive year round schedule of visual arts exhibitions, free to the public. Our Center for the Visual houses two public art galleries, the Meadows Gallery and the Gough Gallery that together present between 15 and 20 shows annually. Everything from national touring shows to student art may be seen at the Center and exhibitions are selected to offer area residents a wide diversity of artists, media, styles, interests and points of interest.  The range of offerings is demonstrated in our own curated annual show: Materials: Hard and Soft, a national contemporary crafts exhibition featuring America's foremost crafts artists.
