The Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery will be closed for Winter Break December 9, 2024 - January 6, 2025
Reaching Towards the Sun is a solo exhibition of Chris Clark’s paintings and multi-media works. Clark is a self-taught visual artist, illustrator, and muralist living and working in Jacksonville, Florida. Reaching reflects Clark's younger self— he states his of his series as, “an emotional dialogue reassuring that it's okay to stand out.”
The Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery is recognized as one of the top HBCU art galleries and/or museums. We feature year-round exhibitions that primarily feature works of art by Black artists and visual culture of the African diaspora.
Our art exhibitions are carefully selected to feature relevant subject-matter and media reflecting our campus constituents and stakeholders, while attracting diverse audiences to enrich and build bridges throughout our community.
We were founded as a teaching gallery. This means our primary purpose is to serve visual art students as well as those pursuing arts and humanities fields. With our courses in Museum Studies, the gallery also serves as a site for learning about art museums and associated professions.
The Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery features art exhibitions and public programs throughout the academic year. Learn more about those public events and more! Check out our exciting public programs, internships, and other opportunities.
Fall, spring, and summer internships are available for enrolled undergraduate and graduate students.
