The University of Minnesota Department of Art

The University of Minnesota Department of Art, located at 405 21st Avenue South in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a world-renowned institution dedicated to research, education, and outreach in a critically rigorous studio environment. As the 20th Anniversary of the Regis Center for Art approaches in the 2023-24 school year, students can benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and resources, including lab hours. The Department of Art also houses a nonprofit printmaking collective that fosters a strong community of artists. The master’s cohort’s collaborative thesis exhibition showcases emotionally powerful work, while the Katherine E. Nash Gallery features upcoming artists completing their Master of Fine Arts degrees. The Quarter Gallery presents a solo exhibition exploring Black identity through photography and text. The Visiting Artists and Critics Program brings in diverse perspectives, such as a Missouri-based painter and a Tel Aviv-based curator, to engage in discussions about the role of art in times of conflict and the curation of alternate visions for humanity across cultures. Join us for insightful talks and exhibitions that are free and open to the public.
