The Southwestern Michigan College Art Gallery in the Dale A. Lyons Building brings a variety of artists to the Dowagiac Campus to display their work. An exhibit of student and faculty work is also on display through exhibits during the Fall and Winter semesters.
Typically, a reception is held for each exhibit which gives guests an opportunity to talk with the artists themselves. Refer to the Art Gallery Calendar for information on the artists' receptions.
