About Us

Arcadia University Art GalleryA nationally recognized venue for contemporary art in the greater Philadelphia area, this 1200-square foot facility (housed in a 1893 power station) has for over 25 years provided the region with a stimulating roster of individual and thematic exhibitions shaped by our mission to encourage dialogue among artists, educators, students and the general public about current visual art and its socio-cultural relevance.

Along with bringing the work of previously unexhibited or unknown artists to our region, the Gallery is also committed to local artists, actively encouraging innovative approaches to art production and acknowledging the contribution of long-standing, influential members of the art community. Educational programs invite the artists and highly respected scholars and curators to discuss each exhibition with the public.
