Gallery 181

Students exploring an exhibition held in Gallery 181.

Celebrate and be inspired by our latest exhibitions

Gallery 181 is located on the first floor of the College of Design building on the west side of the Iowa State campus. Exhibition viewing hours are 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday and by special arrangement. The gallery is closed on weekends and university holidays. Admission is free.

The work you encounter in the College of Design’s gallery may contain a number of topics that are emotionally challenging and can create discomfort. Some work contains adult content and sensitive subject matter. We encourage visitors to engage with the variety of perspectives, opinions, and experiences displayed and to discuss them with family members, peers, and mentors.
