Art Facilities
The Galvin Fine Arts Center houses the Art Department and student
art facilities.
Our main drawing and painting studio
is comprised of 1600 square feet of beautifully lit, open space for posed
model and still life set-ups and is equipped with easels, drawings
benches, portable tabourets, flat and vertical storage space and excellent
ventilation. The big studio is also used for critiques and other art
related activities. Art majors also have the availability of individual
studios at the Studio House.
The graphic
design computer lab in Galvin Fine Arts Center room 139 contains
Macs and offers two scanners, a color laser printer and black and white laser
printers. This is the main lab for digital photography as well. The lab has an overhead Elmo, Internet access and graphic
design-specific software. Room 8 houses another Mac lab set aside for
upper-level graphic design students.
There are other computer labs on campus for student academic work: lower Cosgrove (24-hour lab),
Cosgrove Room 24, Ambrose 413c, McMullen 101 and McMullen 102.
Those labs contain Dell PC's running Windows 2000.
The photography
darkroom is geared towards black and white photography, with
enlargers supporting up to 16x20 prints. Besseler, Simmons-Omega and Nikon
hardware plus washing units, drying screens and storage for students to
hold their supplies make the photo facility flexible and functional.
The printmaking studio offers
facilities for intaglio, relief and lithographic printing. Fully vented
acid booth and solvent areas allow the completion of prints from start to
finish in the same facility. We have two 24” x 28” Sturges etching
presses: a starwheel and an electric, and a Rembrandt lithographic press.
The studio is equipped with ink mixing tables, a graining table for litho
stones and vertical and horizontal print drying facilities.
Students are given their own folder on the network that can be accessed
with their secure user name and password. Documents and other projects can
be stored in the folder and accessed from anywhere on campus.

The Morrissey Gallery and the Catich

Arts Center serve as exhibit spaces for students to present their artwork to
the public. We also present the work of professional artists and other
programs for the benefit of the campus and local communities.
The Quad Cities
presents many opportunities for artists to explore their talents and
connect with others in the community through several arts organizations
and exhibit space potential.
