Santa Clara University

For over 25+ years, The Gallery of the Department of Art and Art History has provided a forum for campus and community to explore a broad range of media and artistic viewpoints.

Linked to the academic year, our exhibitions begin in the Fall with the work of professional artists. In the Spring, we show the work of students, most of whom are finishing B.A. degrees in Studio Art. Throughout the year, hundreds of students visit the Gallery, while many arts professionals exhibit and speak as guest lecturers.

Our goal is to present intriguing art work for both the curious amateur and the sophisticated professional, for we believe art-making and viewing provide valuable experiences in understanding life.
