The permanent art collection includes works which have been purchased from gallery artists, current MCC students and alumni by the college and the Friends of McHenry County College Foundation. Works donated to the Foundation also become part of the permanent collection. The collection is constantly growing and evolving with continued additions of new acquisitions and donations.
