This gallery supports art students from all UNG campuses by offering exhibition opportunities each semester. Students can submit proposals for work created in class, for personal enrichment, or as capstone preparation. Priority is given to current students on a first-come, first-served basis, with sign-ups opening at midterms. Exhibitions last one week, with setup and takedown on Fridays. The space is designed to help students learn how to professionally install, present, and remove artwork. The gallery is open during normal building hours.

This space is a proposal-based gallery that connects classroom learning with professional exhibition. It showcases course-related projects while encouraging critical thinking about curation and presentation. The space supports experimentation, dialogue, and reflection, helping artists refine their voices in a professional setting. Each semester, the gallery hosts 4-8 instructor-led, classwork-focused shows. Instructors can request the space with a brief email proposal and may suggest preferred dates, though assignments will depend on demand. Installation and takedown are the responsibility of the faculty and their class.

DOVA Atrium Gallery

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
