The Western Illinois University Art Gallery presents a schedule of changing exhibitions throughout the academic year to introduce WIU students, faculty and staff, as well as the western Illinois region, to a variety of art forms in a wide range of mediums. The gallery encourages visual artists to submit exhibition proposals for solo, two-person, and group exhibitions for the 2027-2028 schedule. The University Art Gallery provides accepted artists with a reasonable honorarium to assist with travel and shipping expenses, depending on needs and circumstances.
