Recently constructed and featuring four exhibition spaces, the Warehouse Gallery is the realization of one of the goals of VPA’s academic strategic plan: to offer a professional college art gallery where faculty and student work is exhibited year-round. Upcoming exhibitions include work by VPA master of fine arts and bachelor of fine arts degree candidates.
The gallery is managed by Lauren Ashley S. Baker, VPA art exhibition operations coordinator, with consultation by a steering committee of VPA faculty. In addition to employing students as attendants and assistants, the gallery will work closely with the graduate program in museum studies, housed at the Nancy Cantor Warehouse and part of VPA’s School of Design.
“This gallery is a permanent place for VPA’s students and faculty to display their work in a professional and public-facing manner,” says Baker. “This space offers opportunities for experiential learning through exhibition planning, production and participation. Meaningful conversations will happen through this platform, enriching our community.”
Gallery hours are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from noon-6 p.m.; Thursdays from noon-8 p.m.; and Fridays and Saturdays from noon-4 p.m. To contact the gallery, email warehousegallery@syr.edu.
