UNCW Library
The UNCW Library on the UNCW campus offers two galleries for specific arts exhibits and events.
UNCW Library Galleries
Sherman Hayes Gallery
The Sherman Hayes Gallery is located on the first floor of UNCW Library near TAC. Consisting of a large art wall, complete with professional-grade track lighting and open gallery space for sculpture and other three-dimensional items, this is Randall’s main exhibit and event location.
The Sherman Hayes Gallery is open whenever UNCW Library is open. Receptions or other events connected to exhibits are typically held on the opening night of each show between 6-8 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.
