Visit the Gallery
Our Mission
The mission of the Handwerker Gallery is to enhance the academic
offerings of Ithaca College with a diverse range of scholarly
exhibitions, lectures, colloquia and events in its role as a
pedagogical resource. In exploring the various meanings inherent in art
and artifacts, the Gallery will collect, preserve, protect, display and
interpret objects of aesthetic, cultural and intellectual significance.
Exhibitions are coordinated with attention to the needs of the faculty,
students and staff at Ithaca College, as well as the interests of the
larger Ithaca and Finger Lakes communities. The Gallery provides an
outlet for creative work and intellectual discourse for students and
faculty in diverse programs across campus, including Art, Art History,
Cinema and Photography, Theatre Arts, and Writing. In addition, the
Gallery directly supports the teaching of Art History at the College
through experiential learning, as part of a Gallery-based,
interdisciplinary educational experience that strengthens the College’s
distinctive Humanities program.
