Mission and Values
The Reynolds Gallery supports the mission of the University and the College of the Pacific by providing intellectual and physical space in which to explore traditional and contemporary art and design. It hosts artists and scholars in a series of shows, tours, activities, lectures, and workshops linking students to curricular programs across the university. The gallery supports students’ professional development with two annual exhibitions of their art. It also provides professional development undergraduate research and internship opportunities.
The Reynolds Gallery, named for longtime professor of art and chair of the department Richard Reynolds, opened in its current space when the Jeannette Powell Art Center was dedicated in 2000. The JPAC is home to the Department of Art, Media, Performance and Design. The Reynolds is a foundational member of the Central Valley art community and joins the Haggin Museum, Stockton Art League, DH Horton Gallery, and the Grand Galleries in Tracy in promoting the transformative value of creative exploration and public scholarship.
