History of our galleries
The New Gallery
The New Gallery is a 1500 sq' white cube gallery located in the recently built Art+Design Building. Opening its doors in 2017, it continues the success of the Trahern Gallery by focusing on contemporary art and bringing nationally recognized artists/artworks to the campus of Austin Peay State University.
Trahern Gallery
The Trahern Gallery was a 1600 sq' art gallery with beautiful parquet floors located in the Trahern Building, named after Margaret Fort Trahern. Under the auspices of the Department of Art for decades, it showcased contemporary art created by local, regional, and national artists. The Trahern Gallery closed its doors in 2016 in preparation for the construction of the new Art+Design Building and renovation of the Trahern Building. The space that was the Trahern Gallery now serves as the Margaret Fort Trahern Experimental Theatre, a black-box theatre utilized by the Department of Theatre and Dance.
