About the GVA

The School of Art's Gallery of Visual Arts presents professional contemporary exhibitions that serve the School, University at large, and the surrounding community with its interdisciplinary offerings. It is considered a teaching and professional research laboratory, and is one of the School of Art’s most visible forms of outreach. The exhibitions and presentations feature regional, national, and international artists, exhibitions of all B.F.A. senior thesis projects, all M.A. and M.F.A. thesis projects, an art faculty exhibition, and a juried art student exhibition annually.

Exhibition tours for public and private schools, as well as other departments on campus, can be scheduled by calling the gallery. All exhibitions and artist lectures are free and open to the public, and the gallery is wheelchair accessible. Opportunities for students through supervised internships and work-study positions are available.
