MISSION

The Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University seeks to engage the imaginations, stimulate the minds, and captivate the eyes of its visitors - students, faculty, staff, community members, and travelers alike. It aims to serve as a laboratory for the exploration and presentation of new ideas about and related to art; as a forum for interdisciplinary collaborations grounded in visual understanding; as a beacon of excellence in its exhibitions, projects, and publications; and as a sanctuary for the contemplation and enjoyment of art.

ACTIVITIES

Housed on one floor of the Charles A. Dana Center for the Creative Arts, a distinguished Paul Rudolph building (1964-66) on the Colgate University campus, the Picker Art Gallery holds a permanent collection of more than 10,000 objects representing a broad range of artistic mediums, national schools, and historical periods. It presents a regular schedule of changing exhibitions, lectures, concerts, and other special events, all open to the public and free of charge. We hope you'll visit!
