Stanford Art Gallery
Stanford Art Gallery, a 1900sq. ft. exhibition space, is an integral part of the programs, research and curricula of the Department of Art & Art History.
About
During the summer and fall quarters, high-quality exhibitions are sponsored by the Department and are presented to engage the university and wider community in stimulating dialogue facilitated by historical and contemporary visual language and culture. In addition, the Gallery annually presents three MFA shows:
- a 1st year show to welcome and introduce the newest cohort pursing a degree in Art Practice,
- a Design thesis show to highlight the students enrolled in the Joint Degree Program with the Mechanical Engineering Department,
- and the Art Practice Thesis exhibition.
Each year, PhD candidates in Art History collaborate with the 2nd year Art Practice students to produce an exhibition catalog to pair with the Thesis exhibition.
Under the guidance of Liz Celeste, Gallery and Exhibitions Manager, the Gallery is staffed by a team of student assistants. Students interested in working as a gallery assistant can visit the student employment page for more information.
