Founded in 1965, the University of Maryland Art Gallery was initially housed in the Tawes Fine Arts Building before moving to a newly constructed exhibition facility in the Art-Sociology Building in 1976.[1] On October 9, 2015, it was announced that the Board of Regents of the University System of Maryland (USM) unanimously approved the naming of the Art-Sociology Building to the Parren J. Mitchell Art-Sociology Building after the late Congressman.[2]
The Gallery's permanent collection contains nearly 3,000 objects including prints, drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs and time-based media.[3] Among the prominent artists who have had exhibits showcased at the Gallery are John Baldessari, Louis Faurer, Chip Lord, Conrad Marca-Relli, and Ian Hornak.
