[edit] About

The Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon has sought to support the creation, understanding, and growth of contemporary art through exhibitions, projects, events and publications since January 2000.

The three floor, 9,000 square foot space functions as a showcase for experimentation, examination, discovery, and discussion. The gallery aspires to engage diverse audiences, to create and strengthen communities through art, and to stimulate, provoke, and encourage contemplation of the visual arts of our times.

The Miller Gallery is a non-collecting, public art gallery located in the Purnell Center for the Arts on Forbes Avenue, on the campus of Carnegie Mellon in Oakland, Pittsburgh.
