Exhibitions
Hawn Gallery
The Mildred Hawn Exhibition Gallery serves as a vital part of the Jake and Nancy Hamon Arts Library at Southern Methodist University. The mission of the gallery is to serve library patrons by exhibiting items that will add interest to and enhance the art, music, and theatre holdings of the library, including those of the Jerry Bywaters Special Collections Wing; to give special attention to events sponsored by the Central University Libraries and the Meadows School of the Arts; and to give students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to display personal collections and art work within the guidelines set by the staff of the Hamon Arts Library.
The Hawn Gallery, located on the first floor of the Hamon Arts Library, offers a regular schedule of exhibitions from the Special Collections and from the SMU campus and the community. Dates and hours of the exhibitions may vary.
