Named in memory of RMCAD’s founder, the Philip J. Steele gallery is the largest dedicated exhibition space on campus. When it isn’t used to showcase student and faculty work, the Steele Gallery is home to a variety of nationally renowned visiting artists, designers, and influencers throughout the school year.
Don’t let the name fool you (and it’s actually pronounced roo-dee)—because this gallery is an incredibly warm, welcoming, and inviting space. Rude provides an intimate environment for small-scale shows and installations throughout the year, and is among our most sough-after gallery spaces on campus.
The foyer of the Texas building, RMCAD’s flagship structure and the most iconic space on campus, doubles as an exhibition space dedicated to our graduates. We’re proud of the artists and designers whose careers we’ve helped to influence and, ultimately, to launch, and we’re honored to show how far they have come.
Located on the second floor of the EPiC building, the Student Gallery is managed and curated by a dedicated, hands-on student committee. RMCAD students who are hand-selected to exhibit in this space throughout the year are not only afforded invaluable gallery experience, but also an excellent addition to their resumes.
