LOCAL ART LIVES HERE

Displaying a diverse mix of established and emerging artists
Picture

Quad City Arts provides a multitude of locations to display artwork from a diverse roster of up and coming and established artists

FEATURED GALLERY Locations

Art galleries are the bridge between the artist’s brush (or camera, pencil, chisel, etc.) and the outside world. Spaces like Quad City Arts Gallery in downtown Rock Island, Art at the Airport Gallery at the Quad City International Airport, showcase the work of regional artists and provide the community with a variety of artwork to purchase for their homes and offices. Along with selling art gallery shows online, our Rock Island Gallery location includes a Gallery Store that sells artwork, jewelry, pottery, accessories, unique cards and fine wood crafted items from over 72 different local artists. Quad City Arts presents artwork in a range of styles from emerging to established artists. ​
