Visitor Drop-off:

Our Mission

The mission of the Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries is to provide educational experiences in the visual arts to the University of Southern Indiana community and the general public.

The gallery further contributes to the education experiences at USI by providing a professional exhibition space to present the work of art majors, alumni, faculty, visiting artists and the University's permanent collection.

The gallery's mission of serving and educating the University and surrounding community in the visual arts are consistently supported by the events hosted in the space.
