Plaza Art Gallery, an extension of the art gallery program established at Nassau Community College in the 1960s, is a 2,550 square foot gallery situated in the center of campus on the main plaza. Natural sunlight pours through the six-foot windows and a two-story area allows for large sculptures, installations, and paintings. A space that invites investigation of the visual arts, the Plaza Art Gallery supports the work of the robust Art Department at Nassau Community College and presents a year-round schedule of exhibitions and events. All events are free and open to the public.
The Plaza Art Gallery now has a Mobile App where you can view current exhibits and download the current questionnaire. Visit ncc.edu/galleryapp

In a collaborative effort the Martin Barooshian Artwork Trust and the NCC Art Collection the Plaza Art Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition titled Martin Barooshian, American Surrealist.
Martin Barooshian (1929-2022) was an American painter and printmaker, active in the second half of the twentieth and early part of the twenty-first century. Barooshian served the art community as an innovator, leader, teacher, and historian. His mature work does not easily fit into any convenient category, however, he most often classified himself as a Surrealist, specifically a Biomorphic Abstract Surrealist.
