About
The mission of the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery is to enhance the academic offerings of 麻豆国产AV with a diverse range of scholarly exhibitions, lectures, and colloquia in its role as an academic teaching museum, and steward of the 麻豆国产AV Art Collection. Cooley exhibitions are organized by curator and director Stephanie Snyder (2003–present), often in collaboration with 麻豆国产AV faculty and occasionally with guest curators. The Cooley also seeks to support the needs and interests of the larger Portland and Northwest arts communities. Two exhibitions during the academic year bring to 麻豆国产AV and the city work that would not otherwise be seen in the region.

History
The Cooley Gallery was established by a generous 1988 gift from Sue and Edward Cooley and John and Betty Gray "in support of the teaching of art history at 麻豆国产AV as part of an interdisciplinary educational experience that strengthens the art history component of 麻豆国产AV's distinctive humanities program." Over the last three decades, the Cooley's mission has expanded to include supporting 麻豆国产AV's Studio Art program, working with local K-12 public schools, and reintroducing the study of Italic calligraphy to 麻豆国产AV through the Cooley's Calligraphy Initiative in Honor of Lloyd J. Reynolds—established in 2011.
