Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University is home to the Gallery Space at Wagner. Our mission is to bring artwork into a publicly accessible space in order to engage the NYU community and external audiences in dialogues on contemporary art, culture, and public service. In exploring this intersectionality, we prioritize projects and partnerships that foster human rights advoca
cy, social justice, political activism and that promote the equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) values of the School at large
Since its debut in November 2005, the Gallery Space has hosted a variety of dynamic and innovative exhibits featuring both established and emerging artists. Painting, drawing, photography, pottery, collage,
textiles, printmaking, digital video, and mixed media are among the multifarious disciplines showcased in the space. The three annual
exhibits held at the gallery are curated by NYU Wagner’s Communications & Design Manager Frankie Crescioni-Santoni. Located on the second floor of the historic Puck Building, the Gallery Space is comprised of two main display areas measuring 10 feet wide by 6 feet tall and 29 feet wide by 6 feet tall, in addition to two auxiliary
walls. These spaces are primarily reserved for NYU-affiliated artists with a focus on fostering partnership among the diverse University constituents. Additionally, we host special exhibits by guest artists, curators, and practitioners whose projects align thematically with the School’s academic mission and curricula.
