Student Shines Light on the Visual Arts

The Visual Arts Department is Emory's center for the study and practice of contemporary art. Approaching contemporary art as a cultural prism though which all manner of inquires pass—literary and historical, scientific and social scientific, ethical and spiritual—the department supports creative work as a vital element of liberal arts education. A courageous willingness to engage significant issues through art and an insistence on the value of diverse intelligences—these are the touchstones of the department's courses, exhibitions, lectures and related programming.

Located adjacent to the studio classrooms, the Emory Visual Arts Gallery exhibits five to seven contemporary art shows each year, including an annual student exhibition in April. The gallery is a place where innovative work is shown for the benefit of the university and the larger Atlanta community, with a particular interest in artists whose work may not be familiar to a regional audience. Our public programming also includes outstanding lectures, panels, and screenings by leading artists, curators, and scholars.
