Stony Brook University is host to a variety of renowned art galleries that provide unique environments for diverse cultural and artistic exchanges. Art Crawls unite our university galleries through a series of free, guided tours led by curators. This initiative directly supports the university’s commitment to celebrating diversity and positioning the university in the global community. The Fall 2017-Spring 2018 Art Crawls are supported by a Presidential Mini-Grant for Department Diversity Initiatives.
