Alexandre Hogue Gallery

The Alexandre Hogue Gallery, located in Phillips Hall and operated by the School of Art, Design and Art History, serves as a central hub for visual arts engagement at the university. Throughout the year, the gallery hosts a variety of exhibitions including arts, crafts, performance art, and special events, showcasing works of historical, global, and multicultural significance. It is also known for the annual Gussman Student Art Exhibition and features numerous shows by prominent artists, in addition to being a venue for poetry readings and chamber music performances.

Integrating with the School's Visiting Artists Program, the gallery invites both established and emerging artists from national and international backgrounds to share their work through talks, workshops, and collaboration with students. The program benefits from the insights of visiting critics and art historians, enhancing the educational experience.

The gallery welcomes exhibition proposals from individual artists, collaborative groups, and curators throughout the year. They consider works from artists at various career stages, although priority is given to emerging and mid-career artists with innovative and thought-provoking approaches to art making. Proposals are assessed based on artistic merit, conceptual integrity, and alignment with the gallery's mission.

The mission of the Alexandre Hogue Gallery is to enhance the understanding of contemporary art and broaden its audience, particularly among students at The University of Tulsa. It serves as the physical and structural core of the School of Art, Design and Art History, being actively utilized by visitors and students alike.

The gallery features a flexible exhibition space of 1,700 square feet, complemented by two outdoor areas of 300 square feet each, which are equipped with concrete pads. These areas provide convenient access to AC power, high-speed Ethernet, and adjustable lighting. Logistical support is also available, often including stipends for exhibiting artists, who are required to present a public lecture and engage with students. Typically, exhibitions last about four to five weeks, with several days allocated for installation before the openings.
