The New Gallery at Austin Peay State University is a 1500 sq' white cube contemporary art gallery operated by the Department of Art+Design. We host nationally and internationally recognized contemporary artists for exhibitions, lectures, workshops, class visits, and studio visits with students. Exhibiting artists are brought to campus as participants of the Dept. of Art+Design's CECA Visiting Artist Speaker Series.
The New Gallery features 3-5 curated exhibitions and 1 juried student exhibition per academic year. All exhibitions and corresponding programming are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., following the academic calendar and inclement weather policy. Curator-guided tours of exhibitions are available upon request.
Acknowledgment: We acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Yuchi, Shawnee, and Cherokee First Nations on which we are exhibiting, teaching, and learning.
The purpose of The New Gallery is to promote the mission and vision of Austin Peay State University by hosting engaging and thought-provoking exhibitions of artworks that provide learning opportunities for students, teaching opportunities for faculty, and support the University's commitment to collaboration, critical inquiry, and cultural diversity.
