Galleries
In addition to the many museums, galleries, and arts spaces in nearby Washington, DC, and Baltimore, students in the Department of Art have access to a number of galleries on campus. The combined programming of these galleries brings many artists, scholars and critics from around the area and around the globe to exhibit and share their work with the University community. Campus galleries include:
This gallery is located in the Art/Sociology building and is organized by students within the major. Here, students have the opportunity to exhibit their work, curate and organize exhibits, attend film screenings, and hear visiting artists lecture on their work.
