Department of Art Faculty & Alumni Exhibition

Jan 7, 2013 - May 11, 2013

This biennial exhibition of work by MU Department of Art Faculty and Alumni will present visitors, and prospective students, with a sampling of the diversity and talent of contemporary artist/educators. University art faculty members are not only educators, but also working artists. Because faculty members typically include their work(s) in galleries and solo or group shows outside of Oxford, this show offers viewers an opportunity to view the works of those who are instructing future artists.

Ongoing Exhibitions

The Charles M. Messer Leica Camera Collection

Messer Gallery Niche

Between 1970 and 1978, Charles M. Messer of Cincinnati's Messer Construction Company donated his personal collection of German produced Leica brand cameras.  Totaling more than 1,200 pieces, this is the largest privately assembled collection of Leica cameras, accessories and literature in the US. A small sampling of the collection is made available to highlight innovative advances in photographic technology from the mid-1920s through the late 1970s.
