Lecture and Performance Series

The College's Cultural Affairs Committee plans an annual Lecture and Performance Series on the A.P. White Campus in Columbia. Performances are designed to expose students to a variety of writers, thinkers, actors, and musicians. These events are part of the educational experience at the college and students are encouraged to attend. Events are free and open to the wider community. Recent speakers have included Kentucky authors Ed McClanahan and Crystal Wilkinson, and vocal and instrumental musical performances have featured bluegrass, classical music, and jazz.

Lucretia C. Begley Gallery

An important extension of campus life and the community, the Lucretia C. Begley Gallery hosts exhibitions by artists working in a wide range of media and subjects. In addition to fostering greater appreciation for the visual arts and exemplifying working practices of artists, a primary function of the gallery is to feature exhibitions of Art Major Seminar students, required of art majors before they graduate.  The gallery is located in the W.W. Slider Humanities Center.
