Carlson Tower Gallery is the primary art exhibition space for art at North Park University.
The Carlson Tower Gallery is dedicated to exhibitions of NPU art students, art faculty and currently active art alumni. Additionally–depending on the space in the calendar–we do one to three curated exhibitions of currently active professional artists. The gallery does not have a practice of hosting exhibitions by outside organizations. The Carlson Tower Gallery exhibition program includes other sites on campus in the Brandel Library and the Johnson Center.

Safetymaking | Ray Madrigal | On display January 17-Febuary 18 | Reception and Artist Talk: January 23, 4:30pm | Carlson Tower Gallery
Safety making is a pursuit relevant to all people, but it is an especially urgent process for those with few to no easy assurances – namely, those who exist within the vast gray areas of race, gender, sexuality, class, immigrant status, and ability. Those in the gray quickly learn that objects of supposed safety can abruptly turn violent; what protects one party can very well harm another. Through drawn and sculptural elements, Safetymaking probes our daily attempts to delineate interior protected space from an external and potentially threatening world.
