About
the Campaign from UMaine Development
Lord Hall:
With
the complete renovation of historic Lord Hall, that opened in Fall
2006, the Department of Art now has a new academic center. Lord Hall
will house workshops and classrooms for Art Education and Art History,
a Lecture Hall, Department Offices, Department Galleries, a Visual
Resources Library, a Seminar Room, a Reading Room, Faculty Offices
for half of the faculty, and Studios for Design, and for Digital Art.
The Wyeth Center for Studio Art:
The Department of Art is now planning to design and build The Wyeth
Center For Studio Art, a 30,000 square ft. building, which will house
studios for Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Digital Art, Sculpture,
Ceramics, Photography, and 3-D Design. Named in honor of the Wyeth
family of artists, Jamie Wyeth, his father Andrew Wyeth, and his
grandfather N.C. Wyeth, and funded in part by a generous gift from MBNA,
this $5 milllion building will be a landmark and focal point for the
visual arts in northern New England.
"Our goal is to provide the best, most
comprehensive public art program in Northern New England. We have no
doubt we can do this once our facilities meet the caliber of our
programs, faculty, and students."
-James Linehan,
Department of Art
