Arthur Ross Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania

The learning lab and gallery in Philadelphia provides direct engagement with art and artifacts from around the world by staging four exhibitions per year.

Creating a Space to Engage, Educate, and Inspire

The Arthur Ross Gallery was founded in 1983, after New York businessman and philanthropist Arthur Ross offered to establish an art gallery at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Located in the Fisher Fine Arts Library building, the gallery advances scholarship, collaboration, and outreach through direct engagement with original art and artifacts. Today, the gallery showcases artwork representing a wide range of cultures, media, periods, and traditions. It also offers dynamic exhibitions and educational programming to university students and faculty, scholars, artists, and the local community, including the Engaging Minds Through Art program, which partners with underserved Philadelphia schools to provide fourth- through sixth-grade students with a valuable gallery experience.
