The Beard and Weil Galleries
The Beard and Weil Galleries, located in Watson Fine Arts, offer a varied program of exhibitions and lectures for the college community and general public. In addition to featuring contemporary art in all media, we take pride in presenting thematic exhibitions based on works from the permanent art collection of Wheaton College or borrowed from other institutions and private collections. Almost all exhibitions are organized at Wheaton, with the assistance of students in the employ of the gallery. Students in advanced art history courses sometimes engage in the preparation of an exhibition or catalogue. The last show each year is devoted to the work of senior majors in studio art. All exhibitions and related events are open to the public at no charge. The Beard and Weil Galleries are handicapped accessible.
