About the UNI Gallery of Art

Fostering Artistic Connections 

The principal objective is to create crossover attendees and introduce our viewers to artists, designers, historians, and educators who intersect disciplinary, aesthetic, or cultural boundaries. Another objective is to create synergistic bonds in the community by partnering with other arts, culture, and education organizations. Recent efforts have resulted in campus-wide and cross-community events funded by major grants from the Iowa Arts Council, Humanities Iowa, the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The Gallery’s student staff gains valuable experience in museum and gallery management through Work Study, Cooperative Education Internship, and volunteer opportunities.
