Angus College meets the further education and training needs of the local community by providing vocational and leisure courses that can be studied on a full- or part-time basis. The growing collection of contemporary art is displayed in public spaces across the main campus. New works are acquired through gifts and by purchasing the winning entries in the College's National Open Art Competition for artists resident in Scotland. The collection includes paintings by Norma MacLean, a well-known local artist whose work has been shown at the Royal Society of Arts, and Frances Law, winner of the National Open Art Competition in 2008.
