The University of Mary Washington Galleries present art exhibitions and educational events of interest to the University community and the general public. Exhibitions are brought in from museums around the country, or are drawn from the permanent collection of over 5000 artworks. Mid twentieth-century American and Asian art make up the largest parts of the permanent collection. Exhibitions of works by art faculty, art students, and senior art majors are held annually.

The Galleries are dedicated to "advancing the educational goals of the University through the collection, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation of works of art in accordance with the highest professional standards." Professors in art history and other fields assign class projects and research in the Galleries. Students study the works on view and in storage, and delve into the computerized records and paper files. Students interested in art history or museum careers gain valuable experience working in the Galleries as catalogers, researchers, administrative assistants, and exhibition installers.
