The Quinlan will be unveiling its new green gallery this Thursday at its opening reception with a new lighting project for its more than 220 lights that significantly reduces energy usage.
The Quinlan Visual Arts Center is getting a little greener. But it’s not because of any new art display. Last week, the center screwed in 220 energy-efficient LED lamps that will help reduce the amount of energy the gallery uses and the amount it spends on energy costs according to the center’s Executive Director Amanda McClure.
