The study is organized into two major parts. Part I is largely theoretical. It asserts the need for investigation and states the problem. It reviews the relevant literature and sets out the methodological framework of the study. Finally, it discusses the many facets of the gallery/museum: management, governance, structure, educational programs, publics served and exhibitions. Part II reports and analyzes the practice of one particular gallery/museum, that of The University of Texas at San Antonio. / Part I covers educational programs that may be pursued by the academic art gallery/museum in addition to exhibitions, including classes, lectures, workshops, and special events. It considers such programs from the perspective of environment for a successful presentation of these programs. Also included is a discussion of the place of the academic gallery/museum in adult education. / In Part II, the study analyzes the Art Teaching Gallery of The University of Texas at San Antonio, from its beginning in 1982 to its operation at the close of Spring Semester, 1986. Here, specific problems that actually arose are examined, and the solutions to them are presented. At issue are a wide variety of gallery tasks and the practical realities of accomplishing them. Major considerations include staffing, governance, finances, exhibitions, audience, and publicity. / The intent, ultimately, is to construct a paradigm for such a facility. The paradigm designed here is self-contained and fully intelligible without reference to the body of the study. It is offered as a basis for examination and comparison by interested directors and personnel of existing academic art galleries and as a model for the origination of new facilities and the development or improvement of current academic gallery facilities, operations, and services. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-06, Section: A, page: 1350. / Major Professor: Marylou Kuhn. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1988.
