Art Exhibits
Art connoisseurs and amateurs alike enjoy the many art exhibits throughout the school year. Students have various opportunities to display their work, and they often sell particular items to people who have come to see their displays.
Art exhibits are held in the Sargent Art Building, which is part of the Gustafson Fine Arts Center. During the school year, exhibits are open weekdays from 7:50 a.m. to 10:20 p.m. and Saturdays from 1:00 to 10:20 p.m.* Check the schedule below to find a time to visit an exhibit this year.

Affectionately subtitled "Not Far from the Tree," this exhibit features the work of father and daughter artists, Harrell and Bess Whittington. As a 1966 grad, Mr. Whitt served faithfully throughout the University in various capacities, including Art+Design Faculty, by imprinting generations of students in drawing, watercolor, and printmaking. His daughter, Bess, a 2002 alum, draws upon her "love of nature and art developed from a childhood spent in her father’s garden” to create dimensional collages.
