Create an itinerary including University Galleries of Illinois State University
University Galleries of Illinois State University has developed a multivalent approach to exhibitions and support for artists. Our program comprises rings of access that extend outward from the exhibitions we create and travel, the books we publish, and the tours, performances, lectures, and outreach programs we provide. Our exhibitions feature both emerging and established artists, often those whose work has not been previously presented in a comprehensive manner.

University Galleries has organized museum surveys of works by: Jim Lutes, Nadia Hotait, Jason Lazarus, Michelle Grabner, Tony Tasset, Stephanie Brooks, Allan Sekula, Jeanne Dunning, Siebren Versteeg, Martin Wong, David Wojnarowicz, Jane Dickson, and many others.

University Galleries is open year-round: daily throughout the academic year and Monday-Saturday during the summer. All exhibitions and events are free and open to the general public. Please call 309.438.5487 to schedule a special tour for your class or community group.

Programs at University Galleries are supported in part by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.

  • I was here. Watched talented musicians play Viola. The art suggested that 50% of art students chose the wrong degree or were vacant of mind, but 50% was great. Great space, seemed like upstairs was having a moving extravaganza by dragging stuff around during performances, good times
  • Small, but powerful exhibit. Sadly, the video portion didn't work. Wonderful open space. Would definitely visit again.
