Rolland Art Center

Went to see my kids artwork displayed, a little hard to find as the address the school gave us took us to the main campus, but we found it anyways. Had the place to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon, and we spent over an hour looking at the beautiful creative works.

I visited Roland Art Center for the first time to see my son's painting displayed as part of the FAME showing. It was a great to see all the student work part of that exhibit. We also walked the main gallery. It looked like student work. Some was very good and the space was nice. It was crowded when we were there due to two concurrent shows with receptions at the same time, but it flowed well.

Small intimate gallery space. Beautiful art from students and from the university collection. Well lit in the main two rooms. Less well lit for seeing the art in the halls, but adequate. Steps up to the door but there is a ramp and an elevator. The halls are a little narrow.

Hidden gem in the corner of the Saint Francis campus. First class facility, well designed and equipped for a diverse art educational experience.

A former train depot, the Rolland Art Center is the home of the University of Saint Francis' School of Creative Arts. Named after Ian and Mimi Rolland, two of Fort Wayne's largest arts supporters.
