The visual arts have a unique capacity to create shared experiences, with galleries becoming in the process, powerful transmitters of ideas and shapers of values in society. Exhibition facilities such as Herter, can therefore become ideal places for achieving this. it is the mission of Herter Art Gallery to establish a forum between the humanities and sciences for the discussion of important issues that can contribute to the intellectual life of the university, and the larger community which it serves.
