Art Galleries

Engaging our community through art

Walker’s offers two formal galleries for visiting artists and community members, including alumnae, to exhibit their work.

Artists exhibit for approximately seven weeks, with the opening of the show celebrated with a reception that is open to the public and the Walker’s community. During receptions, students are invited to discuss the exhibited artwork with the artist, with many visiting artists conducting workshops for students in Walker’s visual art studios.

See below for more information about each gallery. Artists interested in exhibiting their work should contact Ben Barker at bbarker@ethelwalker.org or 860-408-4263.
