The Birke Art Gallery is located on
the first floor of Smith Hall.
The Birke Art Gallery is a venue which is valuable to students in two significant ways. First, it offers the developing artist the opportunity to interact with the work of professionals in the field and to listen to presentations concerning craft and concept by the exhibiting artist. Second, it serves as an exhibition space for the students – annually in the form of the Student Juried Exhibition and, for graduating seniors and graduate students, individual and group shows as part of the Capstone Experience.

Professor Michael Cornfeld has long been the standard of excellence in art at Marshall University. Professor Cornfeld joined the university in 1967 as an assistant professor and has been known throughout his career at Marshall as an extraordinary teacher. He was the Department of Art chair for 12 years and has been the associate dean since 2004. His 42-year career comes to an end with his retirement at the close of the spring 2009 semester. The Michael Cornfeld and Alumni Exhibition showcases his own current work as well as works by many Marshall alumni, all of whom are proud to say they were Michael Cornfeld’s students.
Below is a video shown in the exhibition about Michael Cornfeld and his career at Marshall University.
