The Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University is the art gallery of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is located on the university campus on Forbes Avenue at Morewood Avenue, at the border between the Oakland and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods.
About
The Miller Gallery supports experimentation that expands the notions of art and culture, providing a forum for engaged conversations about creativity and innovation. The gallery produces exhibitions, projects, events and publications with a focus on social issues. It is free and open to the public. It is one unit of the Carnegie Mellon College of Fine Arts, and is housed in a three-story, 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) space.[1]
