The O’Kane Gallery is the University of Houston-Downtown conduit for the visual arts and contemporary culture. Our innovative, challenging exhibitions, programs, and publications bring artists, the University community, and the people of Houston into closer engagements with each other and with the important cultural issues of our time.
It is the mission of the gallery to promote the spirit of investigation, collaboration and dialogue that extends beyond the gallery walls to present art that is intellectually stimulating and relevant. The gallery serves as an intellectual resource for the study of art, art history, and other related disciplines, extending the University’s educational and scholarly programs to the people of Houston.
The O’Kane Gallery strives to develop and promote future artists, arts professionals, and arts audiences, while fostering the spirit of investigation, collaboration, and dialogue that broadens art interest of the University of Houston-Downtown and the surrounding communities.
