Our Mission

The Goodall Gallery exists to educate, enrich, and inspire, on campus and throughout the community. We present high-quality art exhibitions that support ÐÔÊÓ½ç’s mission and celebrate visual storytelling in all its forms. By making art and artists accessible, we create space for personal expression, deeper understanding, and conversations that matter.

What You’ll Experience

Each exhibition introduces fresh perspectives on identity, nature, culture, social change, and the creative spirit. Visitors are encouraged to engage deeply — whether browsing on a quiet afternoon or connecting with artists and community members during opening receptions.

Our gallery hosts:
• Exhibitions by professional and emerging artists
• Student showcases and senior capstone shows
• Community receptions and artist talks
• Opportunities for collaboration, critique, and learning

Whether you’re new to the art world or a lifelong enthusiast, there is always something here waiting to connect with you, and something to carry with you long after you leave.
