 UNIVERSITY CENTER OF THE ARTS
 The University Center of the Arts serves students, faculty, and the gen-
eral public by presenting exhibitions and performances of the best works in the
visual and performing arts.
 UNIVERSITY GALLERY
 The University Gallery is an integral part of the Architecture and Fine
Arts complex. The Gallery is located on the campus facing S.W. 13th
Street (or U. S. 441). An atrium and a reflecting pool are two pleasing
features of the Gallery's distinctive architectural style. The Gallery, with
3000 square feet of display space, is completely modern, air-conditioned,
and maintains a varied exhibition schedule of the visual arts during the
year. The contents of exhibitions displayed in the University Gallery range
from the creations of traditional masters to the latest and most experimental
works by the modern avant garde. The minor arts of yesterday and today,
along with the creations of oriental and primitive cultures, form topics for
scheduled exhibitions. The Gallery originates one or two of the major exhi-
bitions during the year. Each exhibition shows for approximately a month,
and the Gallery's hours are from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M daily except Sunday, when
they are from 1 P.M. to 5 P.M. The Gallery is closed Saturdays, holidays,
and during the month of September.

 artists and student exhibitions. The Gallery is open Monday through Friday
