About the Art Gallery

The Art Gallery at Brooklyn College is a vibrant hub for artists, faculty, students, and the surrounding communities. Under the direction of the Art Department, through high quality curated exhibitions, we showcase an array of works across media that introduce a rich diversity of professional artistic practices of local and diasporic artists.

Our exhibitions support the educational and cultural diversity of the college and Brooklyn residents. We seek to educate our students through experiential learning in the fine arts including new media, art history, and beyond, expanding their career opportunities and drawing them into the process of exhibition production and design.

Through dynamic programming, we foster collaboration across departments and with community stakeholders, to create educational opportunities and enhance interdisciplinary relationships. The gallery is a place for our campus community and members of the borough of Brooklyn to come together and learn from each other through the unique communicative power of the visual arts.
