Whitcomb Art Center
The new Whitcomb Art Center provides a home for our studio art and art history programs and includes dedicated studios for painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, metalworking and woodworking, and multimedia art—plus individual studios for seniors working on capstone creative projects. It’s design is consistent with the college’s ongoing commitment to sustainability—energy-efficient and full of natural light.
