Windgate Arts Complex: A year after opening

A year after its opening, the Windgate Arts Complex at Eastern Michigan University continues to provide opportunities for art and design students. Recently, the Windgate Foundation, a key donor to the art complex, provided EMU with a potential $200,000 matching grant that will be used to establish a fellowship program in 3D art for undergraduate and graduate students. The Windgate Arts Complex is a one-stop-shop for EMU's 3D arts classes, studios and other spaces. Students can take classes at Windgate in everything from sculpture to jewelry making to digital fabrication. This gallery displays some of the facilities within the building and artwork created by faculty and students.
