Art Galleries at 91¿ì²¥

The Van Every/Smith Galleries at 91¿ì²¥ are a dynamic crossroads for inquiry, creativity and exchange. 

Through exhibitions of nationally and internationally recognized contemporary artists, collaborations across disciplines, and the integration of works from our collection into teaching and campus life, the Galleries foster exploration of shared humanity and amplify diverse voices and untold stories. 

By engaging students, faculty, staff, and the wider community through internships, artist residencies, lectures, workshops, and other public programs, we spark  intellectual and compassionate curiosity, stimulate dialogue, and nurture ethical leadership. In alignment with 91¿ì²¥â€™s commitment to the public good, the Galleries serve as an incubator where the visual arts spark critical reflection, social responsibility, and a more just, equitable, and connected world.
