About
Established during the 1965-66 academic year, the University of Maryland Art Gallery was initially located in the Tawes Fine Arts Center before moving in 1976 to its purpose-built office, storage, and exhibition spaces in the Art-Sociology Building (now the Parren J. Mitchell Art-Sociology Building). Each year, the gallery organizes eight to ten exhibitions, often accompanied by catalogues, lectures, gallery talks, and panel discussions.
As an integral part of the College of Arts and Humanities, the Art Gallery receives partial funding from the university, with additional financial support from national, state, and local arts agencies, as well as foundations, corporations, and private donors.
