We advance critical thinking, cultural understanding, and well-being for campus and community through transformative experiences with art.
- LUAG Mission
LUAG’s collections and programs invite all to explore, reflect, and connect with art — and with one another. From Lehigh students, faculty scholars, and alumni to local artists, K-12 classrooms, and the community at large, LUAG serves as an invaluable cultural resource for campus, the greater Lehigh Valley, and beyond.
Collection
LUAG’s collection of over 20,000 works of art spans centuries and cultures — from ancient objects to contemporary masterpieces — offering a rich tapestry of artistic expression that reflects historical depth, global voices, and varied perspectives. In addition to ongoing exhibitions that draw from the permanent collection, LUAG brings major exhibitions from globally-recognized institutions to the Lehigh Valley.
Both in person and online, we invite all to explore these works — by artists both celebrated and lesser-known — that reveal the full spectrum of human experience and creativity.
Community
At LUAG, creativity, lifelong learning, and community intersect to bring art to life. Each year, we offer over 200 events— from gallery tours and hands-on artmaking workshops to lectures and symposia — both inside the museum and throughout the community.
Inclusive exhibitions, an open access collection, and dynamic programs support LUAG’s mission of fostering critical thinking, cultural understanding, and well-being. Partnerships with schools, community organizations, faculty, and student groups strengthen our programming and ensure that the museum remains a valued resource. Whether you’re a lifelong art enthusiast or simply curious to explore, LUAG welcomes learners of all ages and backgrounds to take part.
