Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture

The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture is a museum housed within the Fine Arts Building at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The exhibition space displays contemporary works in a modern campus setting.

The center was founded in 1989 as the Fine Art Gallery and has grown into a leading institution for contemporary work. Its increasing role in the art world is reflected through partnerships with renowned museums.

The center presents work from both established and emerging artists, inviting visitors to follow current artistic conversations. Through its exhibitions, global creative movements are brought into local context.

The center is easily accessible during the week and offers free admission to all visitors. Plan your visit on a weekday to explore the exhibitions in a less crowded setting.

The center administers the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park on campus, a space where artworks are integrated directly into nature. This park offers a different perspective on contemporary art practice beyond gallery walls.
