A dramatic, light-bathed gallery showcasing work created by students, faculty and visiting artists. ArtCenter’s newest exhibition space features boundary-pushing work by contemporary artists and designers. The Hutto-Patterson Exhibition Hall features a diverse rotation of art, sculpture and mural exhibitions within South Campus’ thriving collaborative nucleus for the visual arts. - ArtCenter College of Design

Designed to be a focal point of the 870 Fine Art and Illustration Building, the gallery occupies the center atrium of the structure under a 30 foot skylight.
