Art Exhibitions

Each season, many art exhibits are presented on campus. The 2,000 square-foot Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery, housed within the Michael C. Rockefeller Arts Center, hosts several curated contemporary art exhibits each season. The emphasis of the shows is on contemporary work in painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, graphic design and media arts. The gallery also hosts exhibits by the visual arts department faculty current students.  All exhibits feature a public reception open to students, faculty, and community residents. The Emmitt Christian Gallery on the second floor of the arts center is used to exhibit class projects, solo student shows, visiting artist work, and other small exhibits throughout the year.
