The Gallery also initiates programs and conferences that bring together scholars from various disciplines to discuss issues that affect cultural and social policy. The UB Art Gallery supports the creation and presentation of artworks by emerging and mid-career artists, emphasizing interpretation of this work through scholarly publications. The UB Art Gallery also provides training and supervision of graduate and undergraduate internships, including curatorial experiences.
