Students critiquing work in the visual arts gallery

Visual Arts Gallery

The Visual Arts Gallery, located in Dearlove Hall, offers a variety of exhibitions throughout the year that emphasize creativity, vision and imagination.

The Visual Arts Gallery offers you a chance to be exposed to works of artists from within, as well as outside, the Lower Adirondack and Capital regions. 

Included are group and solo shows by artists of local, national and international reputation. Each exhibition includes an informative and interpretive brochure. A juried exhibition of student art takes place at the end of the Spring semester. 

Receptions, musical performances, lectures and formal dialogs provide opportunity to share ideas, opinions and responses that feed a sense of community and provide a connection for you to what lies beyond the academic life. 


The Visual Arts Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday during the academic year.

Our Events Services office is your dedicated point of contact to arrange meetings and events at SUNY Adirondack, at both our Queensbury campus and the SUNY Adirondack Saratoga center in Wilton, near Saratoga Springs. We also hold Collaborative Cuisine, unique dining events open to the community, at our new student-run restaurant Seasoned within the college's Culinary Arts Center in downtown Glens Falls.
