JUNDT ART MUSEUM

The Jundt Art Museum, which was funded by a major contribution from James R. and Joann Jundt, private donations and grants, opened its doors in the Fall of 1995. The Museum includes the Jundt Galleries: a 2,800 square-foot exhibition area; the Arcade Gallery: a 1,288 square-foot exhibition space; and a 1,450 square-foot exhibition lounge. The exhibition lounge was dedicated to Rev. Bernard Coughlin, S.J. in September 1999 as the Chancellor's Room. It houses selections from Gonzaga University's collection of Chihuly glass, including the permanent installation of the Gonzaga Red Chandelier. The Museum exhibits works of art from its permanent collection which includes contemporary and old master works. The University's extensive print collection is housed in the Print Study Room, which is available to students and visitors by appointment. The collection may also be viewed electronically via the public access kiosk in the lobby of the museum. Major exhibitions, which include local, regional, national, and international artists, take place throughout the year and include the Senior Exhibit.

The Charlotte Y. Martin Foundation Lecture Hall, an 86-seat lecture room which joins the museum wing to the Art Department, accommodates both academic lectures and museum events.

The Jundt Art Museum sits 100 feet north of the Spokane River on the southwest edge of the Gonzaga campus between the Schoenberg Conference Center and the Jepson Center. The extension is 6611.
