The gallery is open to the public free of charge. Due to the Sarratt Center renovation, the Gallery will display outdoor exhibits only, through December 1999. Indoor exhibits will resume in the Sarratt main lobby in January 2000. The Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery is a part of the Department of Fine Arts. Housed in the historic Old Gym, the gallery features six exhibits each year, including selections from the Vanderbilt Art Collection, shows of works by individual artists, and traveling exhibitions.
Some contemporary exhibits have combined art and poetry.
Education programs, lectures, and symposia are developed in conjunction with the exhibits. The public is welcome to view the gallery free of charge.
