Museum Profile
Fairfield University Art Museum
Publicly inaugurated in October 2010, the Fairfield University Art Museum is an essential component of Fairfield University, it cultivates, inspires, and enriches its many audiences while stewarding the artistic and cultural objects entrusted to its care. The Museum shares this mission with its visitors, breathing life into its commitment to excellence and education in the visual arts through the mindful stewardship of its permanent collection, the presentation of 4-6 dynamic special exhibitions per year and the implementation of vigorous – and invigorating – outreach and educational initiatives. Critical in this regard is the museum’s capacity to mount temporary exhibitions of the highest possible caliber, exposing its audiences to objects, and to cultures, to which they might not otherwise have access.
The museum is comprised of the Bellarmine Hall Galleries, in Bellarmine Hall, and the Walsh Gallery (founded in 1985) in the Quick Center for the Arts.
