Student Union Art Gallery

Supporting the University's mission to develop principled citizens, the Bowen-Thompson Student Union is proud to support the arts. As noted in the University's Academic Plan, "the fine and performing arts enable people to see, feel, and think deeply, and promote a better understanding of human values." To that end, art is a vital part of the Student Union's fabric. Rotating exhibits in the galleries, permanent collection artwork, and pieces on loan from BGSU Fine Arts faculty compliment the décor of the building.

The Bowen-Thompson Student Union is committed to the display and exhibition of art. To that end, the Union gallery will have art exhibits open to the public. Exhibit priority is given to students first, followed by faculty and then alumni.
