Worth Ryder Art Gallery
Exhibit Archive: We are continuing to build our exhibition archive. View a partial history of the gallery’s previous exhibits.
The Worth Ryder Art Gallery (WRAG) is an educational art space that has served as a cultural and artistic resource and community center for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, alumni, and the Bay Area community since 1960, and is a central social and artistic hub of the UC Berkeley Department of Art Practice.
The gallery supports students in exhibiting their artwork in a professional gallery context, serves as an exhibition platform for emerging contemporary artistic strategies, and brings challenging and thought-provoking artwork to the UC Berkeley campus. It is named after painter and founding chair of the department, Worth Ryder.
VIDRINE is our ancillary space showcasing video, digital art, and installation. It is located around the corner from the Worth Ryder Art Gallery in the lobby of the Anthropology and Art Building.
