DAAP Galleries

The DAAP Galleries host rotating exhibitions throughout the year in both solo and group exhibitions featuring work by artists that range from practicing professionals, faculty, and students.  The gallery exhibition selections come from many sources such as noteworthy traveling shows and collaborative projects with guest curators as well as internally developed exhibitions curated in conjunction with faculty members.  The exhibitions selected are primarily focused on contemporary practice; however historical and retrospective exhibitions take place on a regular basis which highlight exceptional achievements in art and provide historic context for contemporary practices.

The DAAP Galleries are intended to serve a broad and diverse audience of students, faculty, and staff of the University, as well as from the wider Cincinnati community and region. Each gallery has a unique focus as follows:

The Reed Gallery

Dorothy W. and C. Lawson Reed, Jr. Gallery hosts exhibitions that focus on the fields of study associated with the College of DAAP, with emphasis on current work in those disciplines brought in from outside the college to enrich the exposure of students to work produced elsewhere.
