The University of Mary Washington Galleries open their doors this fall to a dynamic slate of exhibitions and events that bring together national and regional artists, alumni and students for both creativity and conversation.
From an interactive painting installation to mixed-media sculpture, abstract works and Native American art, the fall 2025 schedule at Mary Washington’s Ridderhof Martin and duPont Galleries offers opportunities for reflection, analysis and participation. A series of gallery talks, a juror lecture and a community roundtable will further connect audiences with artists, curators and cultural leaders.
