Administrative History
The Grunwald Gallery of Art, formerly the School of Fine Arts (SoFA) Gallery presents
contemporary works by both professional and student artists in a special exhibition
format. The SoFA Gallery began in 1983 when the IU Art Museum moved to its new
building and vacated over 5200 square feet of exhibit space. The first few years of
the Gallery featured intermittent shows curated by faculty in studio and art history
until 1987 when the University established a part-time gallery director
position.
In 2011, the SoFA Gallery was renamed the Grunwald Gallery of Art in honor of John A.
Grunwald, thanks to a significant endowed gift from his widow, Rita Grunwald. John
A. Grunwald (1935-2006) was born in Budapest, Hungary, to Jewish parents. He
survived the Holocaust in Europe, and came to New York in 1950. Grunwald graduated
with a degree in Economics from Indiana University in 1956, and met his wife Rita
during that time. Both Mr. and Mrs. Grunwald were deeply interested in art, and
frequently attended SoFA Gallery openings, exhibitions, and discussions. Rita
Grunwald worked in the Fine Arts building for about 25 years, both in the Bookshop,
and also as a Friend of the Art member.
Today, the mission of the Grunwald Gallery is to present contemporary art by
significant regional and nationally known artists, as well as by faculty and
students within the school. Exhibits incorporate art from a variety of contemporary
genres and approaches, and can be experimental or traditional. The Gallery is
conceived as a visual arts laboratory with artists participating in the installation
of their works and interaction with students and the public is encouraged. As the
Grunwald Gallery frequently collaborates with artists, scientists and scholars, this
results in the production of exhibits that interpret visual art in a broader
scientific or humanities context. The temporary exhibit format provides the Gallery
with flexibility to respond to opportunities and directions in the contemporary art
world, allowing programming to evolve based on current trends and directions. The
Gallery hosts over thirty exhibits annually of students from Indiana University’s
Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts, focusing on work by advanced undergraduate,
BFA and MFA students.
