Merwin & Wakeley Galleries
The Merwin and Wakeley Galleries provide exhibition schedules that support Illinois Wesleyan's School of Art curriculum and the university community.
The Merwin and Wakeley Galleries are a vital part of the art program at Illinois Wesleyan University. Students have the opportunity to experience a wide range of exhibits, to meet and talk with professional artists from around the world and to witness the process of installing art in a gallery setting.
The galleries present sixteen exhibits over the course of the academic year, including two student shows: The Annual Juried Student Exhibition and the BFA/BA Senior Exhibits. Every other year we also host an exhibit of recent work by the School of Art Faculty. During the summer months, the galleries feature an exhibition of special interest to our community and region.
