Kennedy Library supports alternative approaches to scholarship through exhibitions, with a commitment to amplify underrepresented voices and topics. We do this by shaping, sharing, and fueling narratives with collaborators across disciplines, focusing on representation and interpretation through art, published works, and archives.
Current and Upcoming Exhibitions
With two dedicated gallery spaces located on the first and fourth floors, Kennedy Library boasts an exhibition program that brings research and collections together, creating opportunities for deeper engagement with topics and narratives that are significant to our community. The first-floor gallery supports faculty and student scholarship, as well as creative projects. Nestled in Special Collections and Archives, the fourth-floor gallery serves a closer look at our unique collections, from historic Cal Poly ephemera to rare books to contemporary art.
