Art, University
Through exhibitions, programs, and publications, Blaffer Gallery presents art that is intellectually stimulating and relevant to the University and the community. The current
exhibition policy focuses upon art of the past 100 years and its artistic, cultural, and
intellectual antecedents. Following a facility expansion in 1999, the museum now presents and/or originates between six to ten exhibitions annually. The schedule may include major traveling exhibitions that have a particular relevance to Houston audiences; mid-sized retrospectives of national and international artists; exhibitions of regional artists; thematic surveys which place artists’ work into new contexts; and special projects by local artists.
