About Us
The Tarble Arts Center is the teaching museum on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL. Artist-led and artist-run, the Tarble presents an annual program of rotating exhibitions that provide experiential encounters with art of international significance and local relevance. The onsite Education Lab, Design Lab, and Collection Lab are hubs for interdisciplinary activity, positioning art as a primary tool for research, advancing knowledge, and interpreting the world we live in. This experimentation produces projects, publications, and opportunities that reach EIU students, community members, regional partners, and international collaborators both in the museum and wherever they are. The Tarble’s ongoing stewardship of a permanent collection of contemporary art, American Regionalism, and folk art provides opportunities for study and reflection to students of all ages. The museum is free and open to the public.
