We suggest parking by Hofstra USA on the North Campus and taking the shuttle bus, called the Road Runner, to the Weed Hall stop. You then may walk a short distance east to Emily Lowe Gallery.

You may also park on the north side of campus, and walk over the Unispan (the walkway bridge over Hempstead Turnpike) to the south side of campus. The David Filderman Gallery is located in the Joan & Donald E. Axinn Library (ninth floor) immediately to your right as you come over the walkway bridge.

The Emily Lowe Gallery requires a short walk on the south campus to the right of the library, and is located behind Emily Lowe Hall.
