With over 2,000 square feet, The Ned and Gloria Griner Art Gallery is located on the first floor of the Art and Journalism Building, adjacent to the Ball State Bookstore (owned by Barnes and Noble) and near the building's main elevator and staircase.
The mission of The Ned and Gloria Griner Art Gallery is the promotion and appreciation of the visual arts for studio artists, educators, and designers. The gallery serves as an important educational tool as it provides opportunities for students, faculty, and the broader arts community to showcase works and view the artwork of others.
The gallery is the primary location for receptions for School of Art students’
thesis exhibitions. It is also a venue for exceptional juried and visiting exhibitions in various media with regional, national and international participation.
For more information about exhibitions and reception dates, see the Ball State University calendar or listen to Indiana Public Radio.
