Grunwald Gallery of Art

The Grunwald Gallery of Art is a contemporary art museum at Indiana University Bloomington in Bloomington, Indiana.[1] It was established in 1983 as the School of Fina Arts Gallery (SoFA Gallery) in what was formerly University's art museum space when that museum relocated to a new building.[2] The museum exhibits experimental works by emerging and established artists as well as works by faculty and students within the Department of Studio Art. It is located at 1201 East 7th Street. It was named in honor of Indiana University alumnus John A. Grunwald in 2011.[3] He was born in Hungary in 1935, survived the Holocaust, emigrated to the United States in 1950, and graduated with a degree in economics in 1956 from Indiana University where he met his wife Rita.

In 2017, the art museum hosted an exhibition on the history of tattoo artistry in Indiana.[4]
