The Art Gallery
Where Art Reaches You
About
The Gallery at TCC is a place where students and the surrounding community can find artistic expression in all mediums, and from all world cultures and historic eras.
With an exterior that seems to change from every angle and naturally lit, unique display spaces, The Gallery is a perfect venue for special exhibitions, lectures, readings, and our rotating collections.

About the Exhibition
Don’t miss Valencia Carroll’s “Alpha-Babies” exhibition in The Gallery at TCC! Carroll’s 26 paintings explore childhood, motherhood, grief, and identity through the rediscovery of her childhood dolls. Each piece invites viewers into a playful yet contemplative scavenger hunt, where objects form letters of the alphabet.
The April 5 doll-making workshop is an all-ages event; bring the kids! Materials will be provided.
