The Edward J. & Helen Jane Morrison Gallery is centrally located on the main floor of the Humanities Fine Arts Building. The facility is ranked among the best of galleries on small liberal arts campuses in the United States. Programming is year-round, offering the campus and surrounding community exhibits throughout the year from students and local, regional, national, and international artists.
The mission of the gallery is to provide a dynamic and accessible venue that supports the educational, cultural, and artistic experiences of students, faculty, and the community. The gallery promotes diverse cultural and personal perspectives in both innovative and traditional art exhibitions, linking the campus community with the global art world. The Morrison Gallery operates on the assumption that the visual arts are central to a liberal arts institution as a fundamental means of communicating beliefs, values, concepts, and visions.
