The Story

The University of North Georgia Art Galleries present year-round exhibitions of work by students, faculty, and visiting professional artists at the university's historic Dahlonega campus. The primary exhibition space is the Bob Owens Art Gallery, which mounts roughly six shows a year, complemented by rotating displays in the Library Technology Center and along the hallways of the landmark Price Memorial Building, whose gold-leafed steeple recalls Dahlonega's gold-rush heritage. Programming is run by the Department of Visual Arts and extends outdoors through a campus sculpture exhibition. A recurring multi-year series titled "The Founders" spotlights artists who shaped the university's visual arts program, each installment paired with public events.
