McMaster Gallery

McMaster Gallery is the university’s community and public facing art gallery. McMaster Gallery is dedicated to elevating design, visual, media, and performance arts on campus. The gallery hosts rotating exhibitions and programming that examine cultural and social contexts, challenge contemporary perceptions of art making, and provide a framework for intellectual and creative inquiry. The gallery is free and open to the public Monday - Friday, from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends and all university holidays. 

 

Passage Gallery

The Passage Gallery is a student exhibition space in the School of Visual Art & Design. The gallery is student-led and overseen by a volunteer faculty member. It hosts a full schedule of exhibitions each semester, including independently curated solo and group exhibitions and exhibitions of art works created by students enrolled in Studio Art and Design courses. Students are encouraged to experiment with exhibition design and installation, and to use the Passage Gallery as a laboratory for developing new ideas.
