Exhibitions: Beard & Weil Galleries, located in Watson Fine Arts, offer a varied program of exhibitions and lectures for the college community and general public. In addition to featuring contemporary art in all media, we take pride in presenting thematic exhibitions based on works from the permanent art collection of Wheaton College or borrowed from other institutions and private collections. Almost all exhibitions are organized at Wheaton, with the assistance of students in the employ of Beard & Weil Galleries. Students in advanced art history courses sometimes engage in the preparation of an exhibition or catalogue. The last show each year is devoted to the work of senior majors in studio art. Highlights from the permanent collection will be exhibited in the expanded gallery in our renovated building. For the 2000-2001 gallery schedule please link to the Beard & Weil Galleries page. All exhibitions and related events are open to the public at no charge. Beard & Weil Galleries are handicapped accessible. Closed during college vacations. Click here for the college calender.
