Art Exchange at Mercy University

The Art Exchange broadens student horizons across all disciplines by increasing access to diverse arts programming and creative events on campus. By centralizing and spotlighting creative experiences, the initiative ensures that every student has opportunities to engage with the arts as a way to enrich their perspectives and overall student experience.

Recognizing the dynamic contributions of Mercy faculty, the Art Exchange provides dedicated support to help teaching-artists and scholars sustain creative productivity. This support includes providing venues and audiences to showcase artistic endeavors, facilitating cross-disciplinary collaboration, and highlighting faculty creative work across campus.

The Art Exchange cultivates dynamic partnerships with local artists, organizations, and cultural institutions in the River Towns and surrounding areas. By creating collaborative bridges with our neighboring arts communities, the Exchange opens pathways for community-centered learning, public-facing programming, and networking opportunities for student internships and service learning.
