Lawton Gallery
The Lawton Gallery is a 1700 sq. foot
gallery located in the Theatre Arts Building in the heart of the
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus. Open during the Spring
and Fall semesters the Lawton presents seven exhibitions a year.
Intended to complement and augment the academic programs of the
university, the gallery showcases the work of students and faculty
as well as regional, national and international artists. The Lawton
Gallery serves as an important cultural and educational resource
within the lives of the students, faculty and staff of the University
of Wisconsin-Green Bay. The Lawton Gallery is also a partner in
the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s outreach mission
and is committed to enhancing and engaging with the cultural resources
in the larger community.
The present Lawton Gallery opened its doors in 1982 as a result
of a substantial gift from Randall and Catherine Lawton. Over
its twenty years of operation it has hosted over 135 exhibitions
including the Annual Student Juried Exhibition, Annual Faculty
Exhibition, Biennual Midwest Photography Invitational (and touring
exhibition), and Annual Senior Exhibition.
The Lawton Gallery also serves as the laboratory experience for
the Art Discipline of the Gallery/Museum Practices minor. This
minor consists of three courses that introduce students to the
day-to-day operations of a gallery, the issues involved in exhibition
design and installation as well as theoretical issues pertinent
to exhibition display and the broader museum field.
