This exhibition and its associated events have been made possible thanks to the generosity of the University Lectures Committee; the Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation; the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; the Center for Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation; Library Information Technology and Services; Humanities; Art, Art History, and Visual Studies; and the Friends, Patrons, and Benefactors of the University Art Gallery. Thank you for your invaluable support.
The arts and what they teach us are more essential than ever. The arts inspire us, and fire the imagination. They teach us creative problem solving, and how to meet challenges with imagination, flexibility, and invention.

The University Art Gallery fulfills an essential role on campus. Devoted to exhibitions of contemporary art, the UAG fosters innovation and creativity, and experiential and visual learning. UAG exhibitions encourage conversation beyond the classroom, between all the members of our community, and a welcoming and diverse campus community.
Working together, faculty members and the Director and Curator of Academic Engagement build productive ways for UAG exhibitions and events to support courses across the curriculum. Students contribute to exhibitions and programming, they visit exhibitions to consider course themes and questions, they have conversations with visiting artists, they use artists’ methodologies and work as inspiration for class assignments, they put their foreign language skills to work in a community setting outside the classroom. Use the button below to contact Shelley MacLaren, Director and Curator of Academic Engagement, to discuss possibilities for your classes.
The University Art Gallery presents four to five exhibitions each academic year, from the work of our graduating to senior art majors to the work of nationally and internationally recognized contemporary artists.
Committed to modeling the interdisciplinary work and collaboration essential to a Liberal Arts education, the arts at Sewanee work to bring together art, music, and dance, and to give our students opportunities to experiment, perform, and reach new audiences, whether by means of a campus-wide Gallery Walk, by means of filmed performances shared with remote audiences, or by means of pop-up collaborative events across campus. Be ready to be delighted and inspired!

Sewanee provides funding for an approved summer internship or research fellowship, a semester-long study abroad opportunity at no additional tuition cost, and the ability to graduate with one major in four years. Of course, you will have to do your part. If you meet Sewanee’s academic and social expectations, these opportunities will be provided.
Our small classes mean that your voice will be heard, your contribution will be expected, and your opinion will be listened to (and disagreed with, and challenged, and seen from a different perspective, and pushed in a new direction, and considered—and you know what? Maybe we’re both right. See how it works?).
We're a community where everyone has a place and there's a place for everyone. Group study? We'll bring our notes. Rock climbing? We're geared up and ready. Jam session? Sure, we'll play with you. Whatever you want to do, at Sewanee, you'll never have to go it alone. Unless you need your space. Then, we totally get it.
