Mandeville Gallery
Inaugurated in 1995, the Mandeville Gallery was in operation until 2024. It was located on the 2nd floor of Union College’s national historic landmark, the Nott Memorial. The Gallery was dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art that explores current and historical cultural themes.
Due to the unusual architecture of the Nott Memorial, the Mandeville Gallery provided a unique environment for viewing exhibitions. The Gallery was a mezzanine, open to the floors above and below, and comprised of two semi-circular areas of viewing, creating an atypical but creative gallery venue.
We are currently not accepting exhibition proposals for the Mandeville Gallery.
