Meyerhoff Art Gallery

The newly renovated Joseph & Rebecca Meyerhoff Gallery at the Gordon is a space dedicated to art and conversation. In the 23-24 season, this gallery will be a platform for building bridges across different communities and exploring identity through creative expression. Through visual art exhibits, panels and performances, artists, poets, students and patrons will meet and discuss art, community and understanding. The exhibits are highly curated and each program connected to the exhibit will be an experience which delves into the process of artistic creation and artistic expression.
