Amy Graves Ryan Fine Arts Gallery

The Amy Graves Ryan Fine Arts Gallery is the main exhibition space at McMurry University. Along with serving as a teaching tool, the gallery exhibits the works of students, faculty, and local and regional artists.

Most exhibits include artist lectures and receptions, allowing the artists to connect with both students and the Abilene community.
