The Radford University Art Museum (RUAM) is dedicated to creating an inclusive and enriching environment where students, the university community and the public can engage with and learn from original works of art. Since its establishment, RUAM has been committed to promoting visual literacy as part of a comprehensive education, offering programming that is both locally connected and globally relevant.

 

Presenting a year-round schedule of exhibitions by students, faculty and regional artists. As always, there is no admission fee and our galleries and receptions are open to the public!
