Art is for everyone, that’s the simple idea behind the MVC Free Little Art Gallery (FLAG).

View art! Share art! Take art!

Everyone should have easy access to viewing art. Everyone should feel encouraged to make art and share it with others. And everyone should be able to collect art. The MVC Free Little Art Gallery (FLAG) is a community space for just that. Feel free to explore the art within, take a piece that speaks to you, and consider leaving your own creations for the next collector to enjoy.

More Information

  • Find it: The FLAG is located outside the Humanities Building.
  • Enjoy it: You can view the artwork inside at any time. Occasionally, the FLAG even has curated exhibitions.
  • Add to it: Create artwork you'd like to share and allow someone to take it home. From sculptures, to illustrations, to crafts, anything that fits inside is fair game.
  • Take from it: When unlocked, we invite you to take an art piece that speaks to you, but make sure to leave art for others in our community to enjoy!

Past Exhibitions

 
Art Coupon by Brian Feliciano
An Art Coupons mini artwork by Brian Feliciano

Art Coupons features the work of artist and MVC student Brian Feliciano for the inaugural exhibition of the MVC Free Little Art Gallery. This mini exhibition invites you to explore a visual realm where bold Pop Art elements harmonize with the enigmatic allure of Emergent Abstraction. Like the meandering paths and colorful fragments of our campus life, these artworks encapsulate the boundless creativity that takes shape when the mundane meets innovation.

To create his art coupons, Feliciano takes the everyday index card and ink pen, staples of college study habits, and playfully reimagines them as inspired works of art, introducing an element of fluidity and unpredictability to the tools of notetaking.

Occasional Closures

The MVC FLAG may occasionally be locked for curated exhibitions by MVC students and local artists. We invite you to look and be inspired. Don’t worry, "the share art, take art" feature will return shortly.
