ABOUT THE GALLERY<br>
The Sweeney Art Gallery is an artistic laboratory that engages diverse
audiences with exhibitions and programs that are committed to
experimentation, innovation, and the exploration of art in our time. The
Sweeney places a special emphasis on inspiring projects that explore new
ideas and materials and re-envision the relationship between art and
life.<br><br>
Established on the University of California-Riverside's campus in 1963,
the Gallery moved to UCR ARTSblock in April of 2006 and plays a special
role in contributing to the artistic spirit of the campus and the
community at large. At the center of the Sweeney's mission is an
appreciation for the role of artists developing the intellectual and
cultural life of society.<br><br>
