Arcadia Exhibitions Arcadia Exhibitions organizes programming for four distinct spaces at Arcadia University throughout the calendar year.

A nationally recognized venue for contemporary art in the greater Philadelphia area, the Spruance Gallery is a 1,100-square-foot facility (housed in a 1893 power station) that has for over 30 years provided the region with a stimulating roster of individual and thematic exhibitions shaped by our mission to encourage dialogue among artists, educators, students and the general public about current visual art and its socio-cultural relevance. Along with bringing the work of previously unexhibited or unknown artists to our region, Arcadia Exhibitions is committed to local artists, actively encouraging innovative approaches to art production and acknowledging the contribution of long-standing, influential members of the art community. Educational programs invite the artists and highly respected scholars and curators to discuss each exhibition with the public.
