The Stamps gallery is an 8,000 square foot public center for contemporary art in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. An outpost of the University of Michigan’s School of Art and Design, the center’s off campus location orients it towards the general public, and its curatorial efforts are designed to engage its community in discussions around pressing social, political and cultural issues. The gallery’s program highlights the perspectives of traditionally marginalized groups by showcasing work by women, people of color, Indigenous and queer artists. Its exhibitions and public programs take up questions that resonate with local communities as well as their national and international counterparts.

“Few arts funders have the independence and clarity of purpose to defend the rights of artists and arts organizations to freely express difficult, uncomfortable, even radical ideas as courageously and consistently as the Andy Warhol Foundation.”
