Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston
Founded in 1973, Blaffer Gallery serves as the University of Houston's laboratory for the visual arts and contemporary culture. Its innovative, challenging exhibitions, programs, and publications bring artists, the University community, and the people of Houston into closer engagements with each other and with the important cultural issues of our time.
Blaffer Gallery presents eight to ten exhibitions annually, complete with accompanying books, catalogues, and brochures that feature original primary research. It exhibits regional, national, and international artists of prominence, and also serves as a venue for emerging and student artists to present their work before a broad audience. Many of Blaffer Gallery’s original exhibitions have traveled throughout the U.S. and abroad, including Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration and Michael Ray Charles, 1989-1997: An American Artist’s Work.
Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston serves more than 36,000 artists, patrons, students, faculty and staff, and urban constituents annually through its exhibitions and educational programs. Blaffer Gallery strives to develop future artists, arts professionals, and arts audiences, while sponsoring a spirit of investigation, collaboration, and dialogue that broadens art interest in the University and regional communities.
