About

The Wege Gallery (est. 2021) is the primary exhibition space at Maharishi University, operated by the MIU Art Department. The gallery hosts 4-5 shows per year featuring artists from across the country, including student and faculty exhibitions. The Wege Gallery is located at the Wege Center for the Arts and was made possible by grants from the Wege Foundation, of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The Unity Gallery (2012-2020) was the former exhibition space located in the MIU Library.
