Beautiful Canvas

The new art building will open up large spaces to produce art in a variety of media. The site serves as both foundation and inspiration, with open views and greater access to natural light.

A student brings talent and an imagination to art, but without a place in which to learn and create that art, those qualities remain intangible and invisible.

Art is an essential part of a liberal arts education. Those who have majored and minored in art at PC go on to graduate work at some of the best graduate schools and art institutes in the world. They pursue careers in teaching, graphic design, art auctioning, historic preservation, and other fields such as well as architecture, medicine, and law.

Presbyterian College has a gifted and dedicated art faculty, and students with a desire to learn about art. They work with inadequate space and facilities that inhibits the ability for faculty to teach and students to learn and explore the visual arts. A new facility with 36,000 square feet will provide the necessary classroom, lab, and display space for all the visual arts disciplines currently offered at PC: including ceramics, photography, painting, graphic design, and art history. The building will encompass the old Reynolds Infirmary and adjoin the Harper Fine Arts Center. With an overview of the PC pond, this inviting facility will have plenty of space for new art classes added in the future.

Pablo Picasso said that "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life," but it also feeds daily life and contributes to the growth and development of all aspects of culture and society.

Your gifts to the visual arts building will make this facility possible for our talented faculty and students.
