The University Art Gallery
In 1997, the University Art Gallery moved to the newly constructed Center
for Performing and Fine Arts. The University Gallery is a state-of-the-art
facility with combined exhibition space of well over 2,000 square feet. By
offering an array of programs in the visual arts, the University Gallery
shares in the overall effort to achieve the educational objectives of the
Department of Art and Indiana State University. Our department’s Visiting
Artist/Scholar program brings to the University a slate of distinguished
artists, art historians, and art critics who exhibit and share their
insights with students and the larger community. Support for these artists
and scholars comes in part from the Indiana Arts Commission and the
Williamson Memorial Artist Residence/Lecture Series Endowment.
In addition to the University Art Gallery, the Department of Art also
has two other galleries: Turman, which is located in the Fine Arts Building
and is used for short-term exhibits, and Bare Montgomery, located in the
Fairbanks Hall and run exclusively by students. Within its attractive and
intimate setting, Bare Montgomery gallery enables student artists to gain
valuable experience by placing their artworks before the public. Students at
ISU also show their work in the Student Gallery of the Hulman Memorial
Student Union building.
