The Dittmar Memorial Gallery opened in 1972 to enhance the mission of Northwestern University by utilizing visual art as a vehicle for transmitting culture. The gallery currently places emphasis on ethnic cultural art, art by emerging artists, and art by or about women, as well as artwork by Northwestern University undergraduate and graduate art students. It showcases the artwork of Ricardo Amando, Luce Caggini, Leo Gadzekpo, Paula Henderson, Kai Kambel, Jose Molinaro, Sylvester Ogbechie, Anthony O'Neal and Boris Sheynes. Although these artists come from divergent perspectives they share common ground in their desire to act out of a sense of artistic responsibility to show the way forward. Master of Fine Arts candidates will be on display.
