About the Westmont Museum of Art

The Westmont Museum of Art, formerly named Reynolds Gallery, is located in the Adams Center for the Visual Arts at Westmont College, Santa Barbara, CA. The Art Department page of the Westmont College website states that "...The Museum serves both the Westmont community, and the Santa Barbara community at large with its exhibition schedule, lectures by guests artists, and a supportive community-based arts council that helps to oversee the museum program. The Westmont Museum of Art gives students the opportunity for work and internships in gallery management and curatorial practice."

The three-level Adams Center, which opened in May, 2011, is nearly five times larger than the old art center. Its central location on campus allows for greater visibility and gathers all the art classes in one location. The 31,000-square foot, narrow building extends from west to east, allowing the classrooms, studios and offices to be naturally lighted and ventilated.

Please see the Museum's web site for hours and fees.

Why was this sub-index page prepared?

When Resource Library publishes over time more than one article concerning an institution, there is created as an additional resource for readers a sub-index page containing links to each Resource Library article or essay concerning that institution, plus available information on its location and other descriptive information.

See TFAO's Museums Explained to learn about the "inner workings" of art museums and the functions of staff members. In the exhibitions section find out how to get the most out of a museum visit. See definitions for a glossary of museum-related words used in articles.
