Arts & Culture
The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery is Columbia University’s main public visual arts space and museum in Harlem, founded in 1986 and relocated in 2017 from Schermerhorn Hall to the Lenfest Center for the Arts in Manhattanville. Its mission centers on historical, critical, and creative engagement with visual art, and under director Betti-Sue Hertz it has become especially noted for exhibitions highlighting traditionally under-represented artists, including artists from Harlem. The gallery also connects exhibitions to university research through projects by graduate students, faculty, and other scholars. Its 2018 exhibition Posing Modernity received broad acclaim and later expanded at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
