Galleries

Galleries in the School of Art & Design run monthly exhibitions and receptions from August through May. Exhibitions include a vast range of works from representational pieces to non-objective imagery. Works are presented in a broad spectrum of formats from traditional to installation and time based media. Our gallery program hosts an annual lecture series, frequently in tandem with what is happening in the galleries. Artists and art historians who come to lecture at EMU are typically well renowned in their discipline.
