FOUR-YEAR REPORT SUGGESTS VERDE CAMPUS ART GALLEY NEEDS QUITE A BIT OF WORK

Gallery at Prescott Campus seems to be doing well

Yavapai Community College has two art galleries:  one is located in the Performing Arts Center on the Prescott Campus, the other is located in a small section of the Verde Campus.  The data in the form of two graphs covering the last four years presented to the District Community College Governing Board at the March 9 suggests that there are few exhibits and few patrons annually visiting the gallery on the Verde Campus while the gallery on the Prescott Campus shows that over 7,000 patrons visited it in 2019.

From an outside perspective, the data for the Verde Campus suggests there needs to be a lot of work in terms of further developing that gallery, if that is possible.   You may make your own judgment from viewing the College’s report via the two graphs below.

It is also possible that the graphs, for whatever reason, may not accurately portray the Verde Campus patron/exhibit data.
