"Art Gallery"

So i went to the "art gallery" downstairs. The one on the ground floor. My thoughts are ....meh. As an art Gallery, its not very good . As a showcase for student work and their involvement in the community, its great. I just feel like calling it an art gallery is trying to make it into something its not. When I went to UH, there was an art gallery on campus. It was also small, but at least larger than the space here. In addition to showing student/faculty work, it also showed artists (mid career, not fresh from school, but still alive and creating work) and artist collectives. The gallery actually had curators (I was an intern for one of the curators there)and created exhibition catalogs  for each show they held. While most of the "gallery" in AIW was professionally done, it seems a little strange that some parts of it were put up with pushpins. Really? pushpins? Ugh. Anyways, I'm just not sold on it being a "art gallery". The work was great, and it showcases the student's and their involvement in the community very well. It's just not an "art gallery".
