MISSION
“Art has the power to delight, inform and instruct. Art stimulates our senses, contributes to our intellectual and spiritual growth and ultimately reflects upon our humanity. The Azarian McCullough Art Gallery at St. Thomas Aquinas College endeavors to present such art in the public interest.”
