Programming includes classes for area high school students and open-studio drawing sessions.
It is enabling our academic programs to advance to a new level, benefiting art majors and the many other Lafayette students who enrich their educational experience by taking studio art and art history courses. The building also provides a new bridge between the campus and Easton, underscoring Lafayette s commitment to the revitalization of Easton s downtown business core, Rothkopf says. It includes community art education programs and a spacious gallery for exhibits by artists from Easton and the surrounding area, as well as shows by Lafayette artists. Major support for the project has been provided by the family of the late Morris R. Williams, a 1922 Lafayette graduate, and his wife, Josephine. The Williams Visual Arts Building houses studios for Lafayette s academic programs in painting, drawing, and sculpture and a studio for advanced student artists working on senior honors projects and independent study projects.
