80 Washington Square East Galleries

NYU Steinhardt’s Department of Art and Art Professions is closely tied to the international art world in all its dimensions. The department’s interdisciplinary approach to art, with its commitment to autonomy and experimentation as well as research, collaboration, and community practice, underscores the central role of visual art within contemporary culture.

The department’s gallery arm, 8OWSE, displays exhibitions featuring the work of professional artists and curated by professional curators, as well as exhibitions curated by faculty, students, and alumni.
