Gallery 479

Gallery 479 is the Art Department's student-run exhibition space in Building 479 that features current creative endeavors by students and faculty at the University of California, Santa Babara. The gallery is available for one-week exhibitions throughout the Spring, Fall, and Winter quarters. Receptions for each exhibition are held every Tuesday evening at 7PM, after the Art Symposium Lecture in Broida 1610. Gallery 479 provides students an opportunity to showcase their talents and engage in a curatorial opportunity and experience in professionalism.

The gallery setting is adequate for displaying a variety of flat work, sculpture, installation, net, and/or video work. The gallery spans approximately 1300 square feet, and has track lighting with dimmer controls, wireless access, and rustic basketball court floors that give the space its signature character. Today, Gallery 479 still bears the nickname "Old Gym Gallery" based on the space formerly existing as an ex-Marine Base recreation center prior to 1949.

Calls for Gallery 479 weekly reservations are quarterly distributed via email. Spaces are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis with the following groups considered: Arts Faculty, Graduate Students, Undergraduate Honors students, College of Creative Studies Students, and all Art Majors properly enrolled and registered that quarter at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
