The Barton Museum, housed in the Case Art Building, provides four exhibition spaces including the Virginia Thompson Graves Gallery, which is endowed, the Lula E. Rackley Gallery, and the North and South Exhibition Corridors which are often used for student exhibitions. The Barton Museum has eight exhibitions per year and shows a variety of original art to further enhance the educational opportunity for the students to learn about successful artists. Receptions, gallery talks, and other events include the students in the regular exhibition schedule.
