Galleries & Artist Opportunities

Quad City Arts supports local and regional artists by providing two different venues to exhibit and sell their artwork to the public, the Quad City Arts Gallery and the Quad City International Airport Gallery. 

The Quad City Arts Gallery is home to a Gallery Store as well as exhibition space both located on the first floor. The building, which was once a turn-of-the-century department store, features hardwood floors & an amazing fourteen foot-high ceiling. The exhibition space is more than
1,500 sq. ft., a perfect space to showcase large paintings, sculptures & enjoy musical & literary performances. The Gallery Store is also a great place to purchase the original artwork of over 125 regional artists.

The Quad City International Airport, also known as Art @ the Airport, is a formal contemporary gallery that has more than 1,600 sq. ft. of exhibition space in floor-to-ceiling glass cases. Over 2 million visitors view this space annually. This gallery is located in the front of the main
arrival/departure seating area among the majority of airport traffic. Exhibits in this space are monthly and pair artists with works from private, corporate and institutional collections.
