Art Galleries

The University Art Galleries are a collection of spaces that advance the mission of the University of Idaho by facilitating innovative art and design research and programming. Collectively, the galleries promote excellence in visual art and design, with three galleries falling under the umbrella of the University Art Galleries:

  • Ridenbaugh Hall Gallery – located at the corner of Blake Street and Campus Drive
  • Reflections Gallery – located in the Idaho Student Union Building
  • Prichard Art Gallery – located at 118 E 4th Street in Downtown Moscow

The Ridenbaugh Hall Gallery is specialized in the exhibition of student work. The Reflections Gallery shows work by a range of communities with connections to the university’s programming. The Prichard Art Gallery exhibits the work of artists of international, national, and regional stature. Exhibitions mounted each year at the Prichard Art Gallery include those by faculty members and MFA graduate students from the College of Art and Architecture. Through the rotation of exhibits, visitors may see examples of visual arts that include traditional and experimental art media and decorative and applied design. In service of the university and the community, the Prichard hosts public receptions and events held in connection with exhibitions, musical performances, guest artists and lecturers. Outreach by the Prichard Art Gallery provide transformative experiences that foster engagement across the university, in the local community, and throughout the region and state.

The gallery facilities and programs are administered through the College of Art and Architecture.
