Mission

The Arthur Ross Gallery is a faculty-led, multidisciplinary exhibition space dedicated to showcasing global, contemporary, and historical art of all kinds. Located in the Ann and Jerome Fisher Fine Arts Library building, a National Historic Landmark designed by architect Frank Furness at the heart of the University of Pennsylvania, the mission of the Arthur Ross Gallery is to share arts-based research and cultural production by Penn’s faculty, students, and alumni. 

Key to the Arts at Penn, the Arthur Ross Gallery works collaboratively to support and advance the University of Pennsylvania’s strategic framework, “In Principle and Practice.” Its programming includes art exhibitions, film, music, performance, lectures, panels, curatorial seminars, student-led tours, and school programs for elementary-age children. 

The Arthur Ross Gallery is free and open to the public.
