Mission:

• To provide HSU students with opportunities to learn firsthand about managing, preparing and curating art exhibits.

• To furnish HSU Art Education students with a Service Learning resource as they instruct community students, K-12, using gallery exhibitions in support of their curricular goals.

• To create free public exhibitions formed in a critical context, which means that the material on view will be interpreted for the viewer in light of issues significant to an interdisciplinary understanding of our times and our global cultures.

• To stimulate active public awareness, support and participation in the arts. Visitors view Lien Truong.

• To introduce artists and art forms that may be unfamiliar to our community.
