Public programs at the Gallery amplify a diversity of voices, perspectives, and approaches. They provide space for the exchange of ideas and connect multiple audiences around art and art practices. We collaborate across the museum, the University, and the community to empower the public to look closely and make connections by actively participating, listening to others, and asking questions. All programs are free and open to the public. Come join us—your voice is welcome!
