The Pool Art Center is home to the Pool Art Center Gallery as well as studios for analog photography, commercial photography, drawing, painting, ceramics and sculpture. Students may also apply to one of our eight independent studios which are dedicated to developing their own work outside of class requirements.

Rose O’Neill House

The Rose O’Neill House displays student works on a monthly basis. Artist Rose O’Neill, creator of the Kewpie Doll, once lived at this residence. While the first floor is a dedicated gallery space, students may apply to live on the second floor of this historic building.
