All art exhibits must be approved by the Ernst Gallery Exhibition Committee. For more information, please email Mary Higgins at mhiggins@nvcc.edu. After receiving approval, the art exhibit will be booked with the Cultural Center.
Gallery hours are Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m and Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. The gallery also serve as the theater lobby and is open without supervision during theater performances.
There is limited storage space for the gallery; therefore all work must be removed from the gallery promptly at the end of each exhibition. Artwork designed to be exhibited on a wall must be able to be displayed from a hanging rail. Nothing may be affixed directly to, on or through the wall. If needed, the exhibitor must furnish pedestals and plinths for 3-D work.
