The Crossman Gallery serves the Department of Art and Design, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and the community by providing a forum for the exhibition of artworks and related educational activities. By facilitating the exhibition of distinctive works of art, the gallery offers students, faculty, and visitors an opportunity to enjoy and study a variety of art expressions. The gallery also serves as an extension of the educational mission of the university by enabling students to exhibit their own work and conduct research into the objects presented throughout the year in the exhibition series.
