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.
“We are pleased to share a full season of programming that reflects the diversity of contemporary art and the strength of our community connections,” said Tracy Stonestreet, director of UMW Galleries. “Each exhibit and event is designed to spark dialogue, encourage participation and provide opportunities for meaningful engagement.” Read more.
