The Dean's Gallery, which employs found materials for its lighting and display cases, held its inaugural exhibition in the fall 2009. Dean Kim Tanzer had the initial idea to turn the space located within the School of Architecture"s Campbell Hall into a gallery with changing exhibits.

Consisting of a Mac Pro connected to a wall mounted 60-inch flat screen, the gallery in a highly trafficked area of the library, has a couple comfy chairs and several pairs of wireless headphones to encourage viewers to sit and take their time viewing cutting-edge work by multimedia artists from around the country. The programming is a collaboration with the McIntire Department of Art and videos loop continuously while the library is open, seven days a week.
The Digital Media Lab, a collaborative effort between ITC and the U.Va. Library, actively fosters an environment for peer-driven teaching and learning and hosts a collection of photos by Steve Gong and other U.Va. alumni.

In keeping with the tradition of Thomas Jefferson's model and the McIntire School of Commerce's vision of developing the well-rounded student, they support the diversity and interaction that art has with commerce. The John P. Connaughton Art Gallery, located on the third floor of Robertson Hall, is the perfect space for showcasing art generated by McIntire and U.Va. faculty, staff, and students. Featured exhibits in this art gallery will be on a rotating basis and are contingent upon the McIntire Art Committee's approval.
The Juried Photography Exhibit features photography by McIntire faculty, staff, and students. The McIntire Art and Commerce (MAC) project uses photography as a way to highlight the global experiences, travel, and homes of our community.
The Darden Art Project (DART) is an initiative to highlight the global experiences, travel and homes of the Darden community. The exhibit features photographs from all constituents of the school that have been taken of places and people around the world and in the US. The photographs could be of landscapes, buildings, people and of course Darden student, staff, faculty and alumni.
