Library Galleries
History
Dr. Richard Wood, former Dean of University Libraries, began exhibiting art in the University Library in March 2003 when an addition to the original facility was completed. The first show featured photography of Joaquin Holloway, a retired library faculty member, as well as student work by Susan Hales and Theresa Lepre. Since then, the University Library, designated as the Marx Library in 2013, has exhibited the works of over 100 artists.
