The Kiehle Art Gallery features exhibitions that are on the cutting-edge of contemporary artistic practice in the Midwest. Kiehle Gallery presents seven to eight exhibitions per academic year. Exhibitions range from multimedia installations to painting, sculpture, photography and contemporary graphic design. With each exhibition there is a public lecture that is open to the university community. Over the past several years Kiehle Gallery has provided the St. Cloud State University community with the opportunity to experience an amazing array of top-notch contemporary artists and exhibitions.

Each year they attempt to select shows that challenge, inform and educate students about a diverse range of artists, cultures and artistic practice. An important part of the gallery’s mission is to bring awareness of art as a social-cultural instrument to the university community. It is their intention to continue to provide dynamic, challenging exhibitions to the department and the university and to increase their visibility as a regional cultural center.
