The Kauffman Gallery
Whether you are studying art or you simply enjoy browsing the artwork of others, our gallery is the right place for you. The Kauffman Gallery is named for Gertrude Kauffman, chairperson of the art department at Shippensburg University from 1937 to 1970.
Visual Appeal
We present a diverse array of visual art exhibitions throughout the calendar year, from nationally and regionally recognized artists, to exhibitions by our Art & Design Department faculty and students. Our goal is to bring quality visual art to the Cumberland Valley. We're passionate about visual art that is challenging and expands our sense of self, community and the world in which we live.
All Kauffman Gallery receptions are free and open to public. The Kauffman Gallery is located on the 2nd floor of the Huber Art Center, and we personally invite you to join us for one of our upcoming events.
For more information and gallery hours please call the Art & Design office, 717-477-1530, 209 Huber Art Center (HAC).
