The Living Gallery
The Living Gallery is a dedicated space for student creative research in the heart of the Art + Design
Building. This residency program accommodates ten dedicated student studios, providing
the invaluable resources - time and space to make work, an exhibition space with which
to exhibit those efforts, critical response from APSU’s robust Visiting Artist program,
and regular opportunities for public viewing - all designed to foster high level independent
creative research within the APSU Art + Design student community. Each term, all students
taking art classes are eligible to propose a project to use these spaces. More than
just a studio, this competitive student residency functions as a campus hub and model
for creative research within our university community. The Living Gallery is an embodiment
of the Department of Art + Design’s commitment to provide a creative environment that
enables students to ask questions, think critically, and take risks as they gain the
knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for a meaningful, productive life and
work as critical makers in a global society.
The public is welcome to visit these dynamic studios as part of Clarksville’s First
Thursday Art Walk from 5-7pm. Learn more about the Clarksville Art Walk and upcoming APSU Art + Design exhibitions.
