Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery

Has anyone ever considered the power of a view? The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery certainly has. Right here at the University of Dallas, the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery isn’t just a space for art; it’s a bridge between the academic world and the vibrant pulse of contemporary art. The gallery’s mission is clear: to enrich the cultural landscape of the university and the wider community. It achieves this by showcasing thought-provoking art. This isn’t just about pretty pictures. The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery wants to challenge and stimulate, to open up conversations about the nature of aesthetics. As a teaching gallery, the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery supports the University’s Art Department. It connects what students learn in the classroom with the diverse and ever-evolving world of artistic practice. The gallery believes that true creative thinking requires direct engagement with art, with all its diverse voices. It even strives to foster interdisciplinary connections. The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery wants to unlock the intellectual richness of the visual world. It’s a place where you can see works by prominent North Texas artists, some of whom are alumni of the University of Dallas’ Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts. These artists have exhibited their work everywhere, from traditional museums and galleries to the sacred spaces of churches and convents. In fact, the Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery celebrated 50 years of graduate studies at the University of Dallas with a special exhibition. “View from the Art Village: 50-Year Retrospective” showcased the work of over 40 alumni artists. Imagine seeing pieces by artists like Bob Nunn, Linnea Glatt, Roberto Munguia, and Ann Stautberg, all under one roof. The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery is more than just a building; it’s a dynamic space where art and education intersect.
