Picker Art Gallery

The Picker Art Gallery is the art museum at Colgate University in Hamilton, Madison County. Its exhibitions rotate, and each one is paired with selections from the gallery’s collection strengths, so a return visit often turns up something new on the walls. Visitors can expect a changing mix rather than a fixed display.

The collections are a varied bunch. They include modern art, photography, Chinese woodcuts, political cartoons and drawings from Carrolup in Western Australia. Named collections include the Dr. Luther W. Brady Collection of Modern Art, the Gary M. Hoffer Memorial Photography Collection and the Nast Collection of Political Cartoons.
