The public centerpiece of the Linfield College Art and Visual Culture Department is the Linfield Art Gallery and studio gallery. Throughout the academic year exhibitions of regional, national, and international stature are on view in this 1500 square foot show space. The curatorial mission of the Linfield Fine Art Gallery reflects the fact that it is an exhibition space located in a teaching institution. Patrons can expect shows which are challenging and which exemplify the diverse approaches to the practice of contemporary visual art. The studio gallery serves as and extension of the main gallery. This is a smaller space for guest artists and student work.

The gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday from 12pm to 5pm when school is in session and by appointment. 503-883-2804
