UNF Gallery of Art
Founded in 1981 and located in Founders Hall, the UNF Gallery of Art is committed to serving students, faculty, and staff by exhibiting works that support the educational mission of the university and its role in society through a broad array of disciplines, lectures, workshops, teaching, and dialogue.
The UNF Gallery of Art fulfills this mission by:
- Exhibiting student and faculty work, along with the work of nationally and internationally recognized artists, on a rotating basis throughout the academic year
- Maintaining the collections management initiative of cataloging and exhibiting works from the university's Permanent Collection in spaces on campus
-
Collaborating with other departments to provide a cross-disciplinary cultural forum for the university campus
As an educational resource, the UNF Gallery of Art provides opportunities for experiential learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional development in the arts, while contributing to Jacksonville’s vibrant cultural scene.
Within the UNF Gallery of art, the Back Gallery is a separate space dedicated to exhibitions and works that cater to specific requests by UNF faculty for the purpose of student development. The space is also used to exhibit works from the Permanent Collection on a rotating basis.
