The University Center Gallery (UCG) is a contemporary non-profit gallery that educates visitors on the endless possibilities that exist in contemporary art. UCG exhibitions are carefully selected based on criteria focusing on diversity in origin, media, content and style. The assortment of work displayed in the UCG comes from local, regional, and national artists. The UCG is a dynamic student run space led by two student Co-Coordinators who oversee a friendly team of Gallery Attendants.

The University Center Art Exhibits program strives to cover 194,380 square feet of interior space with a diverse variety of art throughout the year to prevent blank walls from being prevalent.
