Mark A. Chapman Gallery

Department of Art in Willard Hall

The Mark A. Chapman Gallery on the first floor of Willard Hall opened in 2005. Cheryl Mellenthin and Mark Chapman funded a complete renovation of the former Willard Hall gallery, increasing the exhibition space to over 1,400 square feet along with 400 square feet dedicated to exhibition preparation and kitchen facilities.

Regular Gallery Hours: Monday- Friday 8a.m.- 5p.m.

The Department of Art hosts BFA and MFA student exhibitions in the gallery as part of graduation requirements each semester. The technology friendly gallery serves not only exhibition purposes, but also provides a location for an active Visiting Artist Lecture Program.

BFA, MFA, and visiting artist exhibitions are partially funded through K-State SGA Fine Arts Fee.
