Fort Lewis College offers several art studios and galleries.
At the center of Art Hall is the Fort Lewis College Art Gallery, bringing local, regional and national exhibitions to the campus. It represents a wide range of artistic concerns, from traditional to contemporary and experimental.
Many student shows are also scheduled throughout the year, including the Senior Art Majors Exhibition, the Annual Juried Student Exhibition the FLC Art Scholarship Exhibition. In addition to the main gallery, students also exhibit work in the "Exit Gallery", an intimate exhibition space located in the southwest corner of the art building.
The Art Gallery has about 130 lineal feet of display area, and is divided into a central gallery and two smaller adjacent wings. Clerestory windows located about 30 feet above allow natural light to flood the gallery. Specially fitted blinds can also block the natural light if a more controlled environment is desired.
The Center for Southwest Studies Museum Galleries are also located on campus. Images of the Southwest, Early Years of Mesa Verde National Park and the Jewelry of Ben Nighthorse are a few examples of the gallery's rotating exhibits.
The gallery also proudly shares the magnificent textiles and weavings that represent the Durango Collection ®. Originally purchased by Jackson Clark I, founder of the Toh-Atin Gallery of Durango, and Mark Winter, owner of the Toadlena Trading Post of New Mexico, the Durango Collection ® represents 800 years of weaving in the Southwest. The collection contains magnificent one-of-a-kind textiles woven by both male and female weavers who represented Pueblo, Navajo and Hispanic traditions.
