About Us

Stamp Gallery

The gallery is dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary art with an emphasis on the work of emerging and mid-career artists. The gallery supports contemporary art that is challenging and/or academically engaging and that addresses broad community and social issues. Through meaningful exhibitions and programming the gallery offers an outside-of-the-classroom experiential learning opportunity. The gallery space can be used as a laboratory for emerging artists and curators to experiment and work through their ideas, emphasizing the importance of the process to contemporary artistic practice. The gallery serves by providing exhibitions of social responsibility and artistic substance, as well as by offering an educational forum in which dialogue between artist and viewer and art and community is encouraged.

  • Call for Artwork Submissions: "Portraits of the Most Known"

    Portraits of the Most Known is an interrogation of the human experience and an exercise in visual literacy. “Portraits of the unknown” have been an artistic phenomenon for centuries and have long been defined as works of art that appear to depict specific people, but in which the subject has no confirmed identity.  This exhibition seeks to present interpretations of “portraits of the unknown” for the purpose of fostering a discussion of what it means to identify and, more importantly, understand a subject.
