About the Stamps Gallery
The Stamps Gallery is a dynamic space for the entire community to experience the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design’s scholarship, values, and transdisciplinary creative work. As part of the University of Michigan, our exhibitions, publications, and public programs highlight and foster the critical relationship between research and creative practices. We are a non-collecting institution — functioning in the Kunsthalle tradition — committed to deepening the understanding of contemporary art and design practices. We respond to the urgent questions and events of our time, sparking action, inquiry, and conversation.
Vision
The Stamps Gallery is a platform for creative practices and research. We play a leadership role at the University of Michigan and beyond by augmenting curricular offerings and expanding students’ experience with diverse curatorial, artistic, and design practices. A commitment to social justice shapes our work developing exhibitions, programs, and publications that inspire new ways of looking, making, and thinking.
