Hampden Gallery

Hampden Gallery is one of two Fine Arts Center Galleries located in Residential Areas at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Hampden Gallery has a reputation as a launching pad for emerging artists working in all disciplines. Its active programming schedule runs throughout the academic year and features solo, group, and thesis exhibitions which are enhanced through opening receptions, artist talks, and workshops.

Hampden Gallery, located in the heart of the Southwest Residential Area, sports 14-foot high ceilings and a 32-foot running wall of glass that looks out to the pedestrian thoroughfare of the most populated residential area on campus. This unique architectural feature allows students and visitors a 24-hour view into an ongoing roster of intriguing new works by up and coming artists.

The Hampden Gallery Lobby houses Hampden Gallery's Incubator Project Space - an intimately-scaled venue well suited to showing electronic media works and site specific installations. This venue brings new works even further into the public arena and underscores the laboratory aspects of the galleries.
