The WNCC Student Art Exhibit can be viewed in our Bronson Gallery April 30 – June 28, 2026. Visit the gallery Tuesday - Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. We are closed on Sunday and Mondays. Gallery admission is FREE and open to the public. 

In the Bronson Gallery we will also have an Elder Art display. This is a display of work created by our Elder Art Group we teach at the WNAC. The class is once a month. Mary Hunt was the teacher and leader of the program. The art in this exhibition will be of all varieties and materials. Mary was very proud of what her students created. She was an excellent teacher. We are proud and blessed that she shared her many talents with us!
