The Baldwin Photographic Gallery provides access to inspiring photographic works for the students and faculty of MTSU as well as the general public. The gallery has a long tradition of exhibiting photographic works of national and international stature and brings exhibiting artists to MTSU to conduct workshops and lectures.
The gallery was founded in 1964 by Professor Harold Baldwin. He served as curator of the gallery and professor of Photography until his retirement in 1991. The gallery was formally named for Baldwin in 1996. He made a large gift in 2013 to build a new gallery space, which opened Jan. 27, 2014.
Baldwin also established a permanent gallery collection of prints of exhibiting artists. The Baldwin Collection includes the works of notable artists such as Ansel Adams, Minor White and Jerry Uelsmann.
The Baldwin Photographic Gallery is open Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. on the second floor of the Bragg Media and Entertainment Building.
