Funding Provided for Arts Facility at Arkansas State University

Arkansas State University Windgate Center for Three-Dimensional Arts

The proposal will fund the construction of a new facility—the Windgate Center for Three-Dimensional Arts—with studio and exhibition space for sculpture and ceramics, often referenced in the art world as the 3D arts. The new facility's studio and work areas are expected to cover approximately 20,000 square feet, almost four times the space available in ASU's Fine Arts Annex.
