Exhibitions of Quality Art

The MAC Gallery

MAC Gallery logo
The MAC Gallery hosts high-quality and thought-provoking exhibitions of contemporary art by faculty, exceptional students, and invited professional guest artists from around the region. The carefully curated exhibitions and associated events enhance the instruction of the art department and work toward WVC’s mission to provide important cultural opportunities for the community.

The MAC Gallery is able to put on these exhibitions thanks to generous support from grants and community members. With your donation, the gallery can continue bringing exhibits and cultural events to WVC and our community.

A Quiet Space:

Nik Penny and Scott Broberg

 
May 1 - June 26, 2026
First Friday Opening Reception: June 5, 5 to 7 p.m.
Nik Penny and Scotty Broberg, local artists and team on the ArtsWA Public Art Roster, blend computerized industrial design tools, large datasets, and traditional woodworking processes to create a compelling suite of wood sculptures representing starscapes visible at locations around the globe. The process translates celestial data into a tactile, spatial language, with visual effects that emerge as viewers shift their positions—drawing them from the beauty of the natural wooden surfaces to an experience of the heavens and back again.

Nick McMahan presents Bamboo Tapestry on Maui on June 5 from 5 to 7 p.m.
 
Along with the installation in the gallery, for the June First Friday, the MAC Gallery presents an immersive listening experience by acclaimed nature sound recordist Nick McMahan in the MAC Grove Recital Hall.  Bamboo Tapestry on Maui features recordings captured deep within a bamboo forest on Maui. As night falls, listeners hear the gradual unfolding of this rich and atmospheric soundscape from a truly remarkable location. The sounds were recorded while assessing the sonic characteristics of Haleakala National Park for Quiet Parks International.
