The Elizabeth Holden Gallery
The Elizabeth Holden Gallery presents contemporary artwork by both professional and student artists. The gallery hosts up to eight exhibits annually that incorporate a range of media, content, and points of view. Art department senior exhibitions, biennial faculty exhibitions, and the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition are also on display throughout the academic year. The gallery also functions as an interdisciplinary teaching and learning space for the Art department and the wider Warren Wilson community. In addition, the gallery serves as an experiential learning opportunity for Holden Arts Crew members and senior art majors, who participate in the installation of works and gallery preparation. Students gain hands-on, professional knowledge of what it means to work within a gallery setting.
