Visual Arts Gallery

A Very Special Place

Hidden at the end of University Science Building, UIS offers the campus and community a portal to a world of unique and varied visual arts shows--the UIS Visual Arts Gallery. You can support this very special learning and cultural space on campus with your gifts. Donate

Our Current Needs

We always need financial help mounting our shows--frames, tape, clamps, plexiglass covers, and much, much more. A gift of any size helps us.

If you would like to pay for an entire show, they range in cost from $1000 to $5000, and we are always hoping to be able to bring the artist to UIS to speak to our students and community patrons. Your help on this would be outstanding.

Become a Friend

We are so fortunate to have a group of people in Springfield who stand beside us--a very special group of select art patrons. One such friend is Jayna Marrinan, who describes the reasons she supports the Visual Arts Gallery in the slide show above. If you would like to join this group called the Friends of the Visual Arts Gallery, You can find an application here, with information about the different levels of giving.
