The Academy Gallery is operated in conjunction with the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. The Academy, a non-profit organization, and the Academy Gallery are dedicated to the growth and advancement of the fine arts in this community. The gallery's standards of judgment follow those principles that reflect a reinvestigation of traditional, aesthetic values and their relevance to contemporary education. The gallery accepts many points of view so long as the work maintains a standard of excellence.

The primary function of the Academy Gallery is to provide a teaching adjunct to the school. And specifically, an exhibition area where students can be enriched and stimulated by the shows. Our facility is offered to our faculty, is used for our Annual Student Exhibition, and additionally displays works of local, regional and national artists on a rotating basis.

Our gallery is not a permanent agent, dealer or representative for any artist. No work is kept in the gallery for consignment sale. The gallery serves only as an exhibition hall for artists to display and sell their work.
