Shelter is vital. It’s required for us to survive but also to thrive. Curated by students enrolled in ARTH 335: Exhibition Design, Shelter interrogates the spaces in which we live, play, work, and worship, the objects found in such spaces, and the concept of “shelter”, broadly defined.

Gallery Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 1:00 p.m.—5:00 p.m., Thursdays 1:00 p.m.—8:00 p.m.

Please note: the galleries will be closed November 27—December 1 for November break and December 11, 2022–January 20, 2025 for winter break.

Wheaton’s 17th Annual Mary L. Heuser guest speaker, Joanna Grabski, Dean & Foundation Professor, College of Integrative Sciences and Arts (CISA) at Arizona State University, presents Dakar As Art World City. Dr. Grabski’s talk focuses on contemporary art and artists in Dakar, Senegal, a famously thriving “art world city”; highlighting how and why artists produce and exhibit their work and how they created an art scene by interacting with art world figures from near and far. She shows us that Dakar-based artists have local resonance in their city just as they have global reach.
