About the Evergreen Gallery
Curating Exhibitions and Events
Providing an opportunity
Exhibitions and other Gallery events are free and open to the public. Through managing the Evergreen Gallery, the House of Welcome aims to provide an opportunity for artists with a desire to curate exhibits to bring education, cultural competency, and their unique perspectives on the human experience to our campus. Depending on the exhibition in the Gallery, viewers can see video screenings, performances, and interactive installations, in addition to two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks and installations.
The Gallery exhibits art by professional artists — local, national, and international — with a show by Senior Thesis students at the end of the academic year. The Senior Thesis showcase offers students the opportunity to submit their portfolio to a rigorous review process, and, if their work is selected, to become deeply involved in creating a professional-level exhibition.
History of the Evergreen Gallery
Our mission
The Gallery has existed since the beginning of the college, and it has been in its current location since 2009. The space itself was designed to be flexible and show works in any media.
In 2021, management of the Evergreen Gallery was transferred to the House of Welcome Cultural Arts Center. The House of Welcome oversees the Evergreen Gallery’s temporary exhibitions, with a new show installed at the beginning of Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters. The intent behind these varying exhibitions is intrinsically linked to the mission of the House of Welcome: to advance Indigenous arts and cultures through education, cultural exchange, and economic opportunity. The House of Welcome staff has accepted the responsibility to provide the Evergreen and surrounding communities a chance to experience art from diverse cultures, philosophies, disciplines, and media.
