The Walford Galleries support the educational mission of the Art Department and function as its primary exhibition site serving Wheaton College students. The Gallery exhibition program and related colloquia are academic in nature, and informed by the Christian liberal arts identity of the College.
Exhibitions explore diverse aspects of contemporary art dialogue and present artistic works that strive to celebrate and investigate:
- beauty
- appropriate craftsmanship
- the significance of artistic paradigms
- the redemptive potential of visual images
- the power of art to shape community
- and individual creative expression
