The Georgetown University Art Galleries encompass two distinct exhibition venues: the Maria & Alberto de la Cruz Art Gallery and the Lucille M. & Richard F.X. Spagnuolo Art Gallery. All exhibitions and programs are free. We hope you will join us for unique exhibitions, performances, and public programs.
The opening of the Maria & Alberto de la Cruz Art Gallery (fall 2018) marked an exciting moment in the evolution of both the visual arts and innovative multidisciplinary programming on Georgetown’s campus.

Teresita Fernández: Dark Earth opens at Georgetown University’s de la Cruz Art Gallery
In four panels from her series Dark Earth (2019), Fernández merges the conceptual and the material to challenge conventional ideas of the figure in the landscape in her first solo exhibition in Washington. Each panel presents a ghostly scene that reveals the cultural histories of their physical makeup—gold, conquest, violence, agriculture—and the fluctuation of power that surrounds natural resources.
