Facilties on Campus
The Art & Art History Department is situated in the newly redesigned Lynch Memorial Hall, containing classrooms with state-of-the-art digital projection systems; dedicated painting, sculpture, and design studios; private studio space for advanced students; and a large photographic darkroom. The nearby Gladys M. Fencil Building contains dedicated studios for ceramics, drawing and printmaking. Next door is the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery, which hosts
museum-quality exhibitions of work by contemporary artists and
historical masters such as Rembrandt, Georgia O'Keefe, and Andy Warhol. Works of art from the College's permanent collection are also available for
instruction and
presentations.
Students in the program have access to the studios around the clock, wireless internet service within classrooms and studios, and a large selection of art books and magazines within the department. LVC's Bishop Library, just steps away from the department, contains thousands of books on art and art
history, plus the latest online research and image databases including
JSTOR and ARTstor.
