Welcome to the Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery
About
The Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery presents dynamic professional and student exhibitions in a 5,000 square foot space in the Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University.
Exhibitions bring works by celebrated artists to the campus, including Yoko Ono, Faith Ringgold, Elizabeth Murray, Philip Pearlstein, Sara Greenberger Rafferty and the Guerrilla Girls. In addition, each year the gallery presents exhibitions featuring the work of Stony Brook University undergraduate and graduate students as well as triennial exhibitions featuring the distinguished faculty of the Art Department.
Under the directorship of Karen Levitov, the Zuccaire Gallery engages the campus and regional communities through lively programming and museum-quality exhibitions of contemporary art. All exhibitions, programs and events are free and open to the public.
Land Acknowledgement
Stony Brook University campuses occupy the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the aboriginal territory of the Setalcott and Shinnecock peoples. We acknowledge federal and state recognized tribes who live here now and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands. In offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm indigenous sovereignty, history, and experience.
Diversity and Inclusion
“Stony Brook University is fully committed to providing a just, equitable, and humane campus community through our service, activism, and pedagogy in both individual and collaborative efforts.” –Judi Brown Clarke, PhD, Chief Diversity Officer
The Zuccaire Gallery supports Stony Brook University’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, including the fight against racial and social injustice, through our exhibitions and programs that offer a forum for the exploration and discussion of the relevant issues of our time.

Gallery History
The gallery in the Fine Arts Building was established in 1975 when the building was opened; it was named the Fine Arts Center Art Gallery. On October 22, 1988, the name was changed to the University Art Gallery, coinciding with the renaming of the Fine Arts Building to the Staller Center for the Arts. The Staller Center dedicated its art gallery space with the new name of Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery on April 4, 2013, in appreciation of the generosity of Alice Zuccaire and the Paul W. Zuccaire Foundation. The mission of the Paul W. Zuccaire Foundation is to perpetuate the memory and the spirit of Paul W. Zuccaire by the encouragement, promotion and support of the arts, education, health, humanitarian and other related activities through grants to not-for-profit institutions and organizations. The Foundation was established in 1999 by Estelle Zuccaire in loving memory of her husband.
