Bush Art Center Galleries

The galleries in the Carol and Robert Bush Art Center serve to inspire, enhance and culturally enrich scholarship at St. Norbert College and within the greater community, through the collection and exhibition of art. 

 About the Galleries

The art galleries of St. Norbert College, comprised of three gallery spaces located on the ground floor of the Carol & Robert Bush Art Center, feature rotating contemporary art, design and art historical exhibitions.

The art galleries are free and open to the public. The galleries are closed on college holidays and occasionally close during regular hours due to exhibition installation.

 Learn more A Learning Laboratory

The art galleries and collections serve as a laboratory, offering students experiential learning opportunities in curatorial practice and arts management through work-study and fellowship positions.

Opportunities for St. Norbert students to exhibit art are provided through annual juried student art exhibitions and senior art exhibitions. The Senior Art Exhibition is the capstone experience for SNC art and design majors. Student art is also exhibited in the student-curated and managed Clubhouse Gallery, located on the second floor of the Bush Art Center.
Art Galleries Frequently Asked Questions

We are open to the general public.

Most of the time, food and drink are allowed in the galleries. We do ask that you be careful and do not set food or drinks on gallery pedestals. There are occasional exhibitions when, due to contractual agreements, we can’t allow food in the galleries. That is why you occasionally see a “no food and drink” sign when you visit.

We are not a sales gallery, but if you see something you like, please feel free to email the curator Shan Bryan-Hanson at shan.bryan-hanson@snc.edu, so she can connect you with the artist.

Other than shows of work by our current students, we only exhibit work by professional artists with exhibition records. If you are a professional artist, we’d love to take a look at your work. We strongly prefer email submissions. Email an introduction and link to your website to curator Shan Bryan-Hanson at shan.bryan-hanson@snc.edu. Please understand that we have more interest in exhibit opportunities than available exhibition space, and therefore we schedule a few years out.
