Lafayette College Art Galleries
A Legacy of Distinguished Artists.
A Tradition of Excellence.
The Lafayette College Art Galleries have established themselves as a premier destination for encountering the work of today’s most compelling artists alongside historically significant masterworks. Through the renowned Richard A. and Rissa W. Grossman Artist-in-Residence and Exhibition Series, the galleries have brought to campus some of the most significant artists of the late 20th and early 21st century, including luminaries such as Gregory Gillespie, Leon Golub, Ann Hamilton, Xu Bing, Elizabeth Murray, Faith Ringgold, and Frank Stella.
Our exhibition program presents a dynamic convergence of cutting-edge contemporary practice and treasured collection pieces, creating dialogues that illuminate both artistic innovation and cultural heritage. From internationally celebrated painters and sculptors to pioneering multimedia artists, the galleries showcase work that challenges conventions, expands perspectives, and enriches our understanding of art’s role in contemporary life.
The strength of our programming lies not only in the caliber of the artists we present but also in the depth of engagement we foster between visitors, students, and the creative minds shaping today’s artistic landscape. Each exhibition is thoughtfully curated to create meaningful encounters with art that inspire, provoke, and transform.
