Reynolds Ryan Art Gallery

About the Gallery

To deepen our students’ understanding and appreciation of the visual arts, the Reynolds Ryan Art Gallery showcases work by acclaimed professional artists, including Newman alumni and parents. Each exhibition is thoughtfully curated to expose students to a wide range of artistic styles, mediums, and perspectives.

During exhibitions, visiting artists lead workshops, gallery talks, and exhibition walk-throughs, creating meaningful opportunities for students to engage directly with someone who has built a career in the arts. These experiences not only foster creativity and critical thinking but also inspire students by demonstrating the many ways art can shape a life and a community.
