About the Louie-Meager Art Gallery
The Louie Meager Art Gallery goes into
the new season with excitement for the quality and variety of its upcoming
show schedule. Over 1200 people per month visit the gallery exhibits including
guests from the Bay Area community as well as many groups of elementary,
high school and off campus college classes' tours. The Louie Meager
Gallery offers a diverse museum quality program with informational wall
texts and catalogues provided to enhance and inform.
The gallery has a 30 year history of presenting
professional fine arts, closing each year with a juried Ohlone student
show of recent work. The Gallery Outreach program provides tours for local
elementary and high school students, art workshops for the nearby deaf
school, seminars for Ohlone College classes, San Jose State University
and other colleges upon request.
Continuously running exhibits of works
from professional artists are presented throughout the Smith Center season.
Drop by the gallery before a show or at intermission. No charge for admission
to the gallery.
The gallery is located in the Gary Soren
Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts, Room SC-143. See Fremont
Campus Map for more detail about its location.
The current exhibit schedule is not available. Please check back at a later date.
