Mitchell Art-Sociology Building after the late Congressman.[2]

[edit]The Gallery's permanent collection contains nearly 3,000 objects including prints, drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs and time-based media.[3] Among the prominent artists who have had exhibits showcased at the Gallery are John Baldessari, Louis Faurer, Chip Lord, Conrad Marca-Relli, and Ian Hornak.
