The departmental art gallery first opened in 1965.

Now the Gardiner Art Gallery, it has grown to become an integral part of the department’s teaching environment as well as a place for the university and general community to experience the visual arts. Exhibits have varied from local student and faculty exhibitions, to national shows like the biennial Cimarron National Works on Paper Exhibition, to international offerings of Japanese and German prints, art and artifacts from India, Native American artists exhibitions, and a sand painting (mandala) created in the gallery by Tibetan Buddhist monks. The permanent collection began with graphic prints of the founder of the department, Doel Reed, and has since grown to include over 300 pieces by such national and international artists as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, Robert Motherwell, Alexander Calder, Salvador Dalí and Imogen Cunningham.

❕Studio Art Capstone Exhibition Artist Highlight❕

Annie K. Brocksmith is a printmaker and sculptor whose work examines contemporary consumer culture. Her practice explores the complexities of fast fashion and the relentless cycles of production and consumption that define the industry. Drawing inspiration from pop art and its engagement with commercial aesthetics, she adopts vibrant colors and visually appealing forms while subverting its traditional celebration of consumerism. Although drawn to the fashion and beauty industries as a form of expression, the work approaches these with critical awareness. Her work sews together the environmental and social realities embedded in these industries.

Come see Annie’s work at the Studio Art Capstone Exhibition! The opening reception will be TOMORROW 2/26 from 5-7 pm!
