Herron School Of Art And Design Names Gallery Director

After an international search, a committee of faculty, staff and community representatives has selected Colin Tuis Nesbit as the new gallery director at Herron School of Art and Design. 

Nesbit most recently served as a director of University Galleries at Murray State University in southwestern Kentucky, where he managed the planning and execution of all exhibits and related programs and maintained the 1,200 work permanent collection. Prior to that, he served the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego as an exhibition preparator.

Nesbit’s first public appearance at Herron will be in conjunction with the opening reception and Artist’s Talk for Chicago artist Shawn Decker’s installation, Prairie, on Sept. 26 beginning at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
