Renovated in 2002, the Art Building
houses studios for painting, sculpture, and printmaking, the
Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, and the art history department
office. The sculpture facilities are the most extensive in
the Five College area, offering study in a variety of media
including wood, clay, plaster, and metal. The College is also
home to one of only two bronze casting foundries on the East
Coast. (The other is at the Rhode Island School of Design.)
Gamble Auditorium, named for Sidney Gamble, trustee and benefactor
of the College, is also located in the Art Building. Lectures
and other events take place in Gamble regularly.
A short distance away from the Art Building, in the Central
Services Building, is a spacious, well-lit drawing studio.
A student-run gallery devoted to student artwork is located
in Blanchard Campus Center. |
