About

The Harry W. O'Kane Gallery, established in 1970, was made possible by gifts from Harry W. O'Kane, Mary W. Bingman, and the Humphreys Foundation. The O’Kane Gallery presents five to six exhibitions that meet the diverse interests of students, faculty, and staff of the University of Houston-Downtown. Exhibitions in all media provide educational support to various university courses and to nearby schools. The gallery also functions as a site for university forums, meetings and receptions.  Exhibitions are free and open to the public.

Our Exhibitions

The O’Kane Gallery annually offers about six exhibitions representing a diversity of artists, themes, and mediums. UHD faculty carefully curates each exhibition to ensure it is engaging, inspiring, and informative.
