Welcome to the Gregg Museum of Art & Design
at North Carolina State University
The Gallery of Art & Design has been officially renamed the Gregg Museum of Art & Design
The Gregg Museum of Art & Design is the art museum of North Carolina State University. NC State’s visual art holdings are as diverse as its course offerings. The Gregg’s collection reflects the curricula of the university’s Colleges of Design, Textiles, Engineering, and Humanities and Social Sciences. The objects provide research materials, inspire new and innovative design, and help explain the creative process.
Each year, the Gregg presents a series of changing exhibitions of the finest regional, national and international visual arts in NC State’s museum facilities in the Talley Student Center. All exhibitions and programs are free and open to the general public.
In addition to its exhibitions, the Gregg Museum of Art & Design maintains permanent collections of applied and decorative arts, including architectural drawings and works on paper, ceramics, paintings, photography, textiles, metal, furniture, and works by self-taught artists. Anyone may call and make arrangements to view objects from these collections for the purposes of research, inspiration, or their own enjoyment. Tours, educational programs, and a variety of internship opportunities are also available.
Current and upcoming exhibitions at the Gregg Museum of Art & Design:
January 24 – July 27, 2008
Pamela & Vernon Owens, Potters of Jugtown
This exhibition will celebrate 25 years of Vernon and Pamela Owens’ ownership of one of the most important working potteries in America. Could they be founders Jacques and Juliana Busbee in disguise? Their skills and ideas, steeped in Seagrove, NC’s historic ceramic tradition, will be embedded in the work that is chosen for this exhibition.
August — – October —, 2008
Charles Ritchie – Sketchbooks
The drawings, prints, and sketchbooks of Charles Ritchie find inspiration in the artist’s suburban home. Small in size and created in series, the drawings employ watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink. The prints are based on the artist’s drawings and engage the techniques and materials of printmaking to reinvent the image. The artist’s sketchbooks have been kept continuously since 1977 and chart his creative process.
October—December, 2008
