About the Zilkha Gallery

The Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery is the visual arts gallery of the Center for the Arts. Led by Associate Director of Visual Arts Benjamin Chaffee '00, the gallery is dedicated to presenting innovative work by contemporary artists. Exhibitions at the Zilkha gallery are shaped by Wesleyan’s interdisciplinary values, often inviting collaboration across academic departments and encouraging artists to stretch the boundaries of their medium.
