The Ben Shahn Center for the Visual Arts houses three of the University's professionally managed exhibition spaces. The East, South and Court Galleries total 5,000 square feet of exhibition space and host two "sets" of professional art exhibitions each semester for a total of twelve exhibits per year plus an annual exhibit of student work. The primary thrust of the program is the exhibition and documentation of contemporary art with a deliberate consideration of diversity of style, medium, and philosophy. The program occasionally includes historical art exhibitions. The exhibits are curated by Dr. Nancy Einreinhofer, Gallery Director, and by guest curators.
