History

Established in 1923.

The Quincy Art Center began its life on January 23, 1923, when a group of local women created the Quincy Art Club. In its early years, the Club presented a number of exhibits and lectures to its growing public. In 1932, the Quincy Art Club leased from the Quincy Park District the carriage house behind the Lorenzo Bull mansion and established on that sight what was to become its permanent home. In the mid-1980's the Art Club board took its boldest step yet and decided that the time had come to expand its facilities. After considerable study, it determined that a new gallery and classroom facility would be added to the old carriage house. The new addition gave the Center more than twice its original exhibition space. The classroom areas were equipped for ceramics, printmaking and other art instruction for both the adults and children. Today, the Quincy Art Center continues to serve the Quincy area community with year round exhibitions, quality educational programs, and events.
