The Academy Library
The Academy Library functions as a shared space for reading, research, and independent study. In recent years, it has been reimagined as an active academic environment supporting students’ research interests, focused work, and quiet reflection.
The Library brings together a growing open-access collection, new acquisitions, and digital resources, alongside a program of readings, discussions, screenings, and meetings with artists and researchers. Through ongoing digitization and the introduction of an electronic catalog, the Library connects students to both its own holdings and wider research networks.

Gallery
The SAFAA Boyajian Gallery is the Academy’s primary exhibition and curatorial space, operating through a continuous program of research-based and curated exhibitions. The Gallery brings together students, alumni, faculty, and invited artists, connecting academic practice with the wider contemporary art field.
Following its renewed curatorial strategy, the Gallery functions as both an exhibition space and a laboratory for experimentation, discussion, and public engagement. Alongside major exhibitions, it hosts talks, roundtables, and weekly presentations of student work, creating an open platform for dialogue within the Academy and beyond.
