The A.D. Gallery at UNC Pembroke began in the 1970s when faculty transformed a faculty lounge into a dedicated exhibition space. It served the art department for over 30 years. In 2005, the gallery was expanded to a new 960-square-foot facility. This new facility features a skylight and space for large-format pieces. We invite you to explore this inspiring space and discover what makes the UNCP art gallery truly unique.
