Art Museum and Galleries
Commitment to the Arts
The Fine Arts Museum, Contemporary Art Gallery and Gallery 220 are located in the University Academic Center. These museum and gallery spaces support lifelong learning among a range of audiences, including the University family and the broader Houston arts community.
Fine Arts Museum
Religious-themed paintings and prints are on display in the Fine Arts Museum, including St. John in the Wilderness by Sir Anthony Van Dyck, c.1624. Programming varies throughout the academic year and includes lectures, poetry readings and musical performances, as well as community outreach programs.
Contemporary Art Gallery
The Contemporary Art Gallery is located in the University Academic Center on the Houston Baptist University campus. This state-of-the art exhibition space was completed in the summer of 2012, and its inaugural exhibition, “Spontaneous Memorial: A Commemorative Installation” by Frank McEntire, honored the victims of 9/11.
