Our Continuing Education Goal 

In 1946 the Gainesville Art Association was formed and consisted of a small nucleus of nine members. From these humble origins, the Quinlan Visual Arts Center has continuously evolved into a comprehensive center devoted exclusively to the visual arts. Much more than a gallery for the Gainesville community and beyond, the Quinlan is open to all who care to learn. Our task is a simple one, to strive to offer the best in continuing education programs for all ages and all abilities.  Art is everywhere, but the view is better from in here! Won't you please join us?
