Since 1926, Lehigh University Art Galleries has been honoring Asa Packer's revolutionary belief that art isn't just important to education — it's essential. 100 years later, LUAG is more than a gallery. We are a classroom and community hub where ideas grow, perspectives widen, and conversations flourish. A place for learning and well-being, connecting campus and community and welcoming all to experience something extraordinary with our 20,000+ works of art.
2026 marks a century of creativity, learning, and connection. As we reflect on our past and look toward the future, we're honoring the creativity of our region with our special yearlong exhibition, Here and Now: 100 Years of LUAG, 100 Local Artists, on view through May 22, 2026. (Stay tuned for details about a special closing celebration the evening of Saturday, May 9!)
This museum belongs to you. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or a first-time visitor, we welcome you to explore the galleries, participate in our programs, and make this space your own. You are always welcome, and admission is always free.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Here’s to the next 100 years!
Warmly,
Dr. William Crow
Director, Lehigh University Art Galleries
