In conjunction with its exhibition programme, the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery offers a variety of events throughout the year.  Public programmes at the Gallery include artist and curator talks, panel presentations, video and film screenings, and concerts. Tours are developed to appeal to the university and art communities, and the general public alike. Bilingual walk-in tours are offered regularly with each exhibition as are group tours with a reservation. The guides providing the tours are trained by the Gallery's educator and are selected from the University's diverse programs.
