Experience art in the Looking Glass Gallery
Located in Appalachian State University’s Plemmons Student Union, the Looking Glass Gallery serves as a space for App State’s emerging artists, alumni, and faculty to exhibit their artwork in a professional setting. The gallery aims to heighten artist recognition and to prepare artists for life outside of a university setting. In a constantly evolving contemporary art scene, the Looking Glass Gallery is an ideal place to experiment, learn, and succeed in the art industry.

2nd Annual Leading Legacy: Visual Arts on Campus Exhibition
The Looking Glass Gallery is hosting an exhibition to celebrate the visual arts across campus. We accept submissions of student artwork from all university academic departments (you did not have to be an art student). Each individual is allowed one submission and accepted artwork must be on display for the duration of the exhibition. While we plan to exhibit as much work as possible, acceptance of submitted artwork for this exhibition will be decided with consideration of the limited gallery space available.
Artwork submission deadline: November 14, 2024
Artwork drop-off deadline: December 4, 2024
Exhibition dates: December 11, 2024 – January 30, 2025
If you have any questions about the exhibition or the application process, please email lookingglass@appstate.edu.
