Access to original works of art is an essential aspect of education. It is the mission of the gallery program to provide students with valuable exposure to original works of art through exhibitions such as relate to the academic disciplines within the Department of Visual Arts.

This may include traveling exhibits, curated exhibits, competitions, student and faculty shows; and to provide students with the opportunity to acquire basic skill and experience inherent with staging exhibitions of their own making and design.

Through successful management of these academic goals, the gallery additionally plays a role in promotion of the general Department of Visual Arts image to the university community and the general public.

General Information

The Department of Visual Arts supports two main gallery spaces and several impromptu exhibit spaces. The two main galleries, The B.F. Larsen Gallery and Gallery 303, are located on the third floor of the Harris Fine Arts Center.

Work is also shown on the fourth and fifth floors of the building. These galleries exist primarily for the benefit of the students currently enrolled in the Visual Arts Program. Students gain the experience of working in a gallery setting by displaying their own artwork in these spaces. When not occupied by student exhibitions, gallery spaces may also be used for annual department sponsored exhibitions, visiting artists, and faculty shows.
