The Gallery sponsors exhibitions of original works of art and historical documents, as well as lectures, symposia, and tours intended to serve UMBC students, staff and faculty, as well as members of the surrounding community.
In the context of UMBC, a research university, the Gallery serves as a crucible for the discovery of and encounter with ideas greater than any single book, object, image or concept.
Exposing students and visitors to a broad range of exhibitions and educational and public programming across a wide range of subjects, media, and aesthetic purposes is a primary goal of the Gallery. The Gallery also seeks to increase the accessibility to collections held in the Library, particularly the nationally recognized Photography Collections.
Exhibitions and programs are open to the public.
Admission is free.
