The Sweeney places a special emphasis on inspiring projects that explore new ideas and materials and re-envision the relationship between art and life. Established on the UCR campus in 1963, the Sweeney moved to UCR ARTSblock in 2006 and plays a special role in contributing to the artistic spirit of the campus and the community at large. At the center of the gallery’s mission is an appreciation for the role of artists developing the intellectual and cultural life of society.
