Exhibitions

The Fairfield University Art Museum presents four to six temporary exhibitions annually in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries and the Walsh Gallery.

These exhibitions survey a wide swath of centuries and cultures, from the ancient world to modern and contemporary, and are accompanied by an array of educational programming for all audiences.

These exhibitions are currently on view in the Bellarmine Hall galleries and the Walsh Gallery. Related programs and events are listed on our calendar page.

Upcoming Exhibitions

Our exhibitions are planned well in advance—typically 2–3 years out—and are listed here as soon as dates, venues, and details are confirmed. Please note that we are not currently accepting unsolicited exhibition proposals.

Past Exhibitions

The Fairfield University Art Museum was founded in the fall of 2010 as the Bellarmine Museum of Art. The museum changed its name in the fall of 2016. All of the past exhibitions of the museum and the Walsh Gallery (which was operated independently until 2013) are listed here. To access and download digital materials for exhibitions since 2010 you can access the museum’s digital archive.
