Lee Gallery Mission and History

In 1958, Lee Hall was erected by Lockwood Greene Engineers, Inc. for the School of Architecture with Dean Harlan E. McClure as consulting architect. Lee Gallery was included in the original planning concept. Because the gallery was located in Lee Hall, it became known as the Lee Gallery. Harlan McClure designed the addition and the new jury space had a two-fold mission: to function as a jury room and a place to present exhibitions of visual art.

The gallery is recognized as a significant presenting venue in the state highlighting regional and national artists in its programming.
