The university is home to a variety of spaces that display works by artists of all levels, from student beginners to those who are internationally renowned. Each gallery has a different mission and presents pieces in its own style, but all provide students with a cultural escape on the campus.
“We are pushing the conversation of what is art,” said John Shipman, director of The Art Gallery at this university. “I think that for students, it’s something they have to define for themselves all the time, because if you’re going to be an artist and make art, you have to figure out what that is.”
