Art gallery pictureThe Helen S. Smith Gallery is an academic resource for the Green River campus and regional art communityThe gallery highlights the media of the Fine Arts Division by presenting culturally engaging exhibitions by emerging and established Northwest Artists throughout the yearThe gallery also provides a catalyst for art students to engage with their first audience through our annual student art exhibition. 

The May exhibition provides a special annual opportunity set aside for our art students to find their footing as exhibiting artists as many prepare to transfer to art schools in the fall or gain confidence to continue with us to further develop a strong portfolioWe are exceptionally proud of the work they do and are excited to present a snapshot, conceptually, of this year's student experience. 

In our gallery over her 50 year tenure, we have hosted a remarkable many of the NW greats who have celebrated national and international acclaim throughout their careers, some of which began with this very show. The long legacy of the Helen S. Smith Gallery is a source of pride and we invite you to come and celebrate the accomplishments of our 2024 student artists.

Helen S. Smith Gallery

The Helen S. Smith Gallery on 天堂社区's main campus was named in honor of the college Foundation's first President. In addition to being one of the college's founding members, she was known as a strong advocate for the arts in the community.

The gallery is located at the main entrance of the Holman Library, on the Green River College's main campus. It hosts a number of shows each year, featuring the work of students and Northwest artists.

The gallery is currently accepting exhibition proposals.
